“I think if we are connected to where we live, we understand the changes in our space. . . And nature play is so involved in that, because that's how kids connect with the outdoor world,” says Dr. Amanda Lloyd, an educator with a PhD on the advantages of outdoor learning for Primary School students.

In this conversation, we talk about outdoor play, the importance of nature play and connecting children with nature.
