Influence Magazine Soon to Feature Adam Bienenstock with Spotlight on Connecting Kids to Nature

TORONTO - June 28, 2013 - PRLog -- Influence Magazine, a fresh new online business publication announced this week that it will be featuring a lengthy Spotlight story on Adam Bienenstock of Bienenstock Playgrounds.

Influence Editor+Publisher, Sharon Ricci says, “Adam is an incredibly well rounded individual who impressed me immediately with his enthusiasm and passion. But scratch just below the surface and you realize this is no tree hugger or nature guru, this is a well educated, brilliant man who wins you over with the science and statistics behind child development, play and its undeniable connection to nature. Bienenstock goes beyond being a driven entrepreneur and lands solidly on the “On a Mission” column. I’m privileged to have him in the pages of Influence this summer.”

Bienenstock is an award-winning consultant on design, construction, policy, risk and regulatory process for connecting communities to nature in our cities. His partners and clients include Parks Canada, ParticipACTION, Right to Play, CBC, The Canadian Wildlife Federation, the US Army, US Forestry Service, Head Start, World heritage sites, nature centres, hospitals, childcares, schoolyards and backyards across the US and Canada.

Additionally, Influence Editor Ricci points to Bienenstock’s service to the public. She says, “He truly believes that his work goes beyond making money and into the field of making a difference in the lives of healthy communities now and in the future. He approaches his team’s work in the same way, saying that they do not work for him, they work for the cause.”

Bienenstock has served as a board director at the Child and Nature Alliance (www.childnature.ca), where he founded Nature Play Day (www.natureplayday.ca), is a regular collaborator with Richard Louv’s US based Children and Nature Network (www.childrenandnature.org), sits on the Ministers Round Table for Youth and Nature, and was a major contributor to the Parliamentary Commission on Urban Conservation and Sustainability.

In addition to Bienenstock’s upcoming appearance in Influence Magazine, he is a prolific writer himself often asked to speak on the importance of the community/nature connection in our built environment. He has delivered keynote speeches and workshops at the AECEO, NAEYC, ARPA, OPA, PRO, BCRPA, LEAD Innovation Gmbh, Humber College, Seneca College, Ryerson University, Guelph University, and more across North America, New Zealand, and Australia.

The Influence Magazine, Meet Adam Bienenstock Issue is set to launch in early July.
