Playing in the Great Outdoors
PLI’s Allison Brody and best-selling author Richard Louv were guests on KNPR’s State of Nevada program on February 25, 2010. Louv revealed the secrets to getting kids outdoors in today's urban world, while Brody offered tips for exploration in Southern Nevada and discussed the 2010 Our Places Tell Stories Conference. You can listen here.
