No Child Left Inside gains support of Kentucky lawmakers

Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear signed House Concurrent Resolution 29, focused on encouraging Kentucky kids to get outside and do things like go fishing, visit parks or farms, and bike on safe routes to school.

Ed Councill, founder of Frankfort’s Canoe Kentucky and kidsGROWkentucky, lead the effort to get the resolution passed.

I just want to show that there is concern for getting kids outdoors, and there needs to be public policy to state that, he said.
