School Ground Solutions at The Intersection of Health, Education and Nature LIMITED

Friday May 9, 2025 2:00pm - 3:15pm MDT

This workshop is centered around how building nature spaces on school grounds at scale ensures that all youth are educated and empowered to act for climate change, biodiversity, health benefits of nature, and positive actions they can take for a nature rich future for all. Participants will explore the impacts of equitable access to nature on youth mental health, learning outcomes, and stewardship values, discuss the Learning By Nature initiative which aims to grow and scale nature-based solutions nationally, and will discover how this initiative can foster relationships, inspire and support the wider community to learn in and by nature.
