Forest Children: A Constellation of Early Childhood Nature Programming

• In Event: Poster Presentations

Session Submission Type: Poster Presentation

Summary

Using photos, videos, and stories, we show how a university nature preserve implements a variety of programming across age-groups to connect children and families to nature. Segmented by developmental stage, five distinct “micro” programs address unique aspects of interacting with the forest and building connections between families, educators, and nature.
