How to view and include urban landscapes as rich environments to engage with nature Presented by Susan Franco
Description
Children are spending less time outdoors, which can impact their well-being. How can we encourage a nature play approach when space and opportunities are limited? This webinar will discuss ways to help children develop a deep appreciation and respect for the land they walk on. Urban spaces offer rich landscapes for children to engage with nature and develop a pedagogical companionship that values sustainability, diversity, and complexity.
