Wildwoods

The Urban Nature Exploration project helps people think differently about “nature” and “green space” by finding them among the built environment of an urban landscape. By shifting individual’s perspective of urban nature, they will experience the health & wellness benefits attributed to exposure to nature. This will result in longer, happier, healthier lives, more resilient families, and safer communities.

Activating a Children's Outdoor Bill of Rights for L.A. County to provide more equitable access to parks and green spaces. As part of the nation-wide initiative "Cities Connecting Children to Nature", Wildwoods and the LA STEM Collective will work at the community level, fostering collaboration between municipal agencies and community-based organizations to help "connect rights to resources", making it possible for children and families to spend more time outdoors.

Our Town is a mobile app that allows schools, organizations, and neighborhood groups to report, post, and track community improvement projects, competing internally or between groups. Our Town allows members to establish teams and for the teams to establish the parameters of their “game,” setting the terms of competition, including duration, scoring, and point value. Points are scored by reporting community problems and by completing community beautification or improvement projects.
