Nature-based Learning Resources

Nature provides invaluable learning experiences for young people. Learning in an “outdoor classroom,” such as the school garden, a neighborhood park or your own backyard, offers many opportunities for young people to explore, discover, observe and directly experience their surroundings. Whether you’re a parent looking to supplement weekend or summer activities, or an educator seeking to develop new lesson plans, we hope you find these resources useful.
