Children who have the opportunity to explore, learn, and play in Wisconsin's outdoors are more likely to be healthy, do better in school, experience improved creativity and concentration, and discover the rewards of outdoor stewardship. To that end, we believe the children of Wisconsin have the right to experience each of the following activities during their youth:

Be it resolved by the assembly, the senate concurring, That the members of the Wisconsin legislature recognize that every Wisconsin child should continue to have the opportunity to:
* discover Wisconsin's diverse wilderness: prairies, forests, wetlands, and beaches;
* breathe clean air and drink clean water;
* splash, play, swim, and boat in safe, clean lakes and rivers;
* visit a farm, historical site, or orchard;
* share a hunting or fishing experience with a family member, friend, or mentor;
* follow a trail — ride it or walk it;
* play, snowshoe, ski, snowboard, or sled in the snow;
* camp out under the stars;
* picnic and eat meals made from local products and ingredients;
* play in the dirt, plant a tree, and grow a garden; and
* explore and connect with Wisconsin's natural spaces and wild places;
