Today’s children are often missing these powerful, play-based nature experiences – play that was once a cherished and nearly universal part of childhood. Not only was it just plain fun, “nature play” also helped children fall in love with the outdoors – forging a vital first link towards a life-long commitment to conservation. Research has also shown that frequent nature play is great for children’s overall healthy growth, aiding their physical, intellectual, emotional, social, and creative development.
