A hands-and-minds-on professional development opportunity for grown-ups, each workshop offers:
• Current research and background information on the positive impacts on child development of time spent in nature
• Reflection and collaboration for integrating regular unstructured time outside into your day.
• An introduction to the local natural highlights of each season, what are you likely to find and can explore with children outside in Autumn, Winter and Spring?
