DE SCR20

Expresses support for Delaware's No Child Left Inside / Children in Nature Initiative and its goal to connect children with outdoor experiences and natural environments.

Documents findings that Delaware children spend up to 44 hours per week on screens and nearly 40% are overweight or obese, with outdoor activity linked to improved physical, emotional, and cognitive development.

Affirms that every Delaware child should have safe access to outdoor activities including climbing trees, fishing, hiking, swimming, gardening, camping, and learning about the state's natural heritage.

Requires the Children in Nature Task Force to produce annual progress reports to the General Assembly with recommendations on expanding access to natural areas for underserved populations, promoting healthy lifestyles, and improving environmental education.
