On May 30, 2024, the City of Cincinnati passed a resolution approving the Children’s Outdoor Bill of Rights, which guarantees that every child in the city has accessible pathways to experience and interact with nature throughout their childhood.
Councilmember Meeka Owens submitted the resolution and Green Umbrella staff member Cynthia Walters spoke to support the Bill of Rights:
My work directly relates to providing outdoor spaces for learning, play, and for connecting children with nature. I am grateful that I get to work with so many incredible partners, school districts, elected officials, your staff, and with the Office of Environment and Sustainability.
I hope you will pass the Children’s Outdoor Bill of Rights for the following reasons:
As Green Schoolyards Manager for Green Umbrella’s Greater Cincinnati Regional Green Schoolyards Action Network, Cynthia leads a team of educators, organizations, public agencies, and volunteers working across local public school systems to expand greenspace, environmental education, and farm-to-school opportunities to K-12 students and educators across our region.
