Nature play promotes daily contact with our natural environment and outdoor space. Diminishing habitats, parental safety concerns, increasing access to technology and even over-structured lifestyles have contributed to a growing lack of contact with nature for many children.
The aim of nature play is to create a greater appreciation for, and awareness of, the natural environment.
For more ways to engage kids in nature play, please visit the Open Space and Mountain Parks
Families and OSMP webpage for ideas and resources.
