Is Your Nature Team Set to Go?
March 5, 2010
This is what our brain does all day long. It takes input from various areas of our brain and from the environment and synthesizes it into a story that makes sense.

Based on two previous Working Forums organized by the Nature Action Collaborative for Children, we now know that multi-disciplinary efforts to connect children with nature yield dramatic results. Therefore, we are inviting the participation of multi-disciplinary teams that include at least two of the following professions within their team: early childhood educators, environmental educators and advocates, designers, planners, landscape architects, community health experts.
The deadline for applying for participation — March 15th — is fast approaching. Attendance will be limited. Teams can apply for participation at www.WorldForumFoundation.org/actionteams. Teams will be selected based in part on the order in which they are received, and in part on how they contribute to the geographic and professional diversity of the initiative.
Natural Playscapes: Creating Outdoor Play Environments for the Soul is an inspiring, yet practical resource on bringing outdoor playspaces to life. It describes how children relate to the natural world, gives many examples from around the world of how early childhood professionals and parents have planned and constructed natural playscapes. Included are blueprints, step by step instructions, and tip sheets such as "20 Ways to Create Natural Playscapes," and "15 Free or Low-Cost Things to Enrich Your Playscapes."ExchangeEveryDay

Great Ideas! Excellent information to construct a Natural Playground. I loved all the pictures. My favorite is the slides built in to the hills.
