Nature Play
Ecosource’s nature play programs engage children up to 12 years of age in self-directed, nature-based play to encourage exploration and foster positive nature connections.
We sit as a co-chair of the Peel-Halton Nature Collaborative, a cross-sectoral network of professionals focused on increasing opportunities for children and families to engage in nature. Every month, we bring individuals together during our general meetings to share knowledge and resources on playing and learning in nature. With the support of the Collaborative’s members, we created the Everywhere Nature toolkit, a guide to planning nature-based programs.
