Nature for All Children: Creating Forest Schools in Urban Environments

Session Submission Type: Traditional Presentation

Summary

Nature should be accessible to all. When forest schools take place in children’s neighborhoods, they stay connected to their land and learn the true meaning of environmental stewardship. Our workshop will demonstrate programs using public urban spaces to foster a climate of equity while cultivating a love for the natural world.
