“…However, the slight increase in outcome mean scores indicated in the results are promising, and similar outcome assessment for future YMCA program's are recommended. In addition, this program, similar to other studies, supports OST programs that help youth focus on the outdoors (e.g., Mackenzie et al, 2017;Mackenzie et al, 2018).Finally, this program highlighted a model of a successful partnership between four agencies: a university, a public-school system, the YMCA, and the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics.…”

This study describes a program developed with the coordination of four agencies to reconnect urban youth to nature by combining the best of each partner. Many urban youth are disconnected from nature. Recent studies show that youth only spend about 15-25 minutes daily outdoors recreating. Youth are now exposed to high-arousing stimuli from technology. Youth who spend time in nature have demonstrated improved test scores, self-discipline and have become more environmentally aware. Out of school time (OST) programs can provide an effective setting for outdoor-based programs. The Leave No Trace for Every Kid educational initiative focuses on educating youth about nature through a values and asset development. Partnering with the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics, the YMCA, a public school, and a local university, an innovative program was launched using the stewardship curriculum in an after-school program.

“…Crawford et al [60] assessed the use of mobile technology in engaging children with nature and found the approach equally effective to a more traditional environmental education approach; however, the technology was rated as more fun. Mackenzie et al [61] examined social media and web-based platforms as another route to connect the youth, this time diverse urban youth from under-represented groups. Findings point to novel opportunities to engage diverse youth who might not otherwise be interested in nature-based opportunities.…”

This Special Issue addresses the intersections of outdoor recreation, nature-based tourism, and sustainability. Outdoor recreation and nature-based tourism provide essential benefits to individuals, communities, and society and thereby contribute to sustainability. Equitable provision of opportunities, cultural variations in desired experiences, barriers to outdoor recreation, and diverse perceptions of both nature and recreation add to the complexity in outdoor recreation and nature-based tourism service delivery. Outdoor recreation and nature-based tourism occur within a socioecological system with feedback loops to changing social, economic, technological, and ecological conditions. On a global scale, climate change and other disturbance factors are impacting ecosystems and opportunities, increasing the importance of adaptation strategies for longer-term planning. Population growth and regional shifts in demographics and distribution (e.g., urbanization), as well as socioeconomic trends, affect who engages in outdoor recreation and nature-based tourism, opportunities sought, nature access, and governance of outdoor services. Overall the complexity of sustainable outdoor recreation and tourism may suggest a need for different approaches to service delivery, culture change among service providers and managers of natural spaces, and novel approaches to inclusive governance and shared stewardship. Given the clear importance of outdoor recreation and nature-based tourism to society, we invite you to consider this initial introduction to our assembled collection, which is meant to advance our understanding of the intersections of outdoor recreation, nature-based tourism, and sustainability.

“…Therefore, SM has largely change people's decision process and improve its quality. Mackenzie et al [ 3 ] augured that increased technology use decreased opportunities that people contact with nature, meanwhile, the social media also provide opportunities to connect youth leaving in urban with natural areas. It is the economic effect of SM to recreation economy and decision.…”
