Hike it Baby creates opportunities and removes barriers to access so families with babies and young children can take their first steps outside. We believe all families have the right to connect with nature, benefit from spending time outdoors, and be inspired to a lifelong love of nature. Our efforts are focused on families with babies and young children. We encourage all families, including those that may not have experience or have felt welcome in the outdoors, to take their first steps outside. We acknowledge that families come in all different shapes and sizes and we define parenthood as any person who cares for a baby or child. We empower all families to build a lifetime love of the outdoors which will benefit the planet and all humans in the long run. Together, we are raising a generation to love the outdoors, and each other.

Our board members inspire us every day! Blaine has shared the ways We Are Out 🌱 Grown makes an important impact: “We Are Out 🌱 Grown was recently known as Hike it Baby, but just rebranded as Out 🌱 Grown- to be true to what it is. I have been connected with “We Are Out 🌱 Grown,” formerly known as Hike it Baby, for more than 2 years because I see the amazing work it does to empower families with young children to step outside and enjoy the physical and mental benefits of growing up in nature. I am excited about the next step for this unique organization. Its recent rebranding to “Out 🌱 Grown” better reflects its true purpose and serves as an umbrella name to encompass three program pillars: 🏞 Hike it Baby – focused on community-led events such as hikes, 🌳 Bring it Outside - a program to help families build a habit of getting outside and overcome challenges such as accessibility, and 🦋 Turn the Blues Green - which supports new parents in going outside with their newborns which can be a powerful tool for overcoming postpartum depression. Together, these programs are helping families grow up outside, becoming Out 🌱 Grown. 🌤 👨👩👧👧 If you have the ability, and are considering donations at this end of year time, I would encourage and ask you to look at We Are Out 🌱 Grown, and support their amazing work." Our board is matching donations up to $5,550 - so please help us and double your donation today! https://lnkd.in/e-rcWeqj Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/e6-sxRdE

Starting at birth makes a difference! Let's keep getting the babies outside! Thank you for recognizing this important need Children & Nature Network!
We have been working with the wonderful team at Children & Nature Network for a few years now and it is so great to be in community with people who understand why it's so important to get kids outside! I'm honored to be featured for the work we're doing to help more families get outside with their babies and young children! It makes a huge difference for everyone when families get community, connection, support, and access to greenspace right from the start. Together we are helping families become Out 🌱 Grown!
