Leave No Child Inside Summit ’08 Notes: Starting an LNCI in Northwest Ohio

LNCI Coming Soon to NW and NE Ohio

Group: Mary Warren, Ohio Dept. of Natural Resources
Chris Knoll, Ohio Dept. of Natural Resources
Scott Weigley, YMCA Camp Director, Camp Tippecanoe

Essences/Main ideas:
Piggyback on successes of Central Ohio LNCI

Next steps for this group:
Identify potential groups in NW and NE Ohio and invite to an initial gathering

Recommendations for Steering Committee:
Create a statewide LNCI Collaboration. Have a toolkit to help “regions” get started.

(NOTE FROM ALICE HOHL – Check out this Action Guide from the National Children and Nature Network on starting a Collaborative. It’s probably more than you need, but contains a lot of good stuff.)
