Workshop Reports The following are summaries of discussions to launch the Texas Children in Nature Strategic Plan. These discussions took place during a state conference hosted by the Texas Partnership for Children in Nature, on December 3‐4, 2010 in Austin. Workshop attendees were asked to discuss each goal within the plan and recommend “first steps” toward implementation. The discussion and reports reflect the interests of the attendees in the room. In each workshop, the strategic plan goal was first introduced by a host representing the Partnership. A facilitator then initiated the discussion, and when possible helped the group reach consensus. “First step” recommendations were captured by the scribe. Notes from the scribes and flip charts are summarized in the following pages. The intent of these recommendations is to help facilitate the first steps toward implementation by the state action teams (health, education, access, community, policy, marketing, and natural leaders) and regional collaborative efforts that are forming throughout the state. Implementation will depend on participation from both the public and private sectors, working creatively and effectively with limited resources.
