We aim to enable children to connect with nature, be more active, be more engaged with their learning, develop their social skills, and have fun! Where possible we encourage young people to have a say in the way their grounds are used and improved. As a result they learn to create and look after something valuable; their self-esteem grows and their behaviour improves, along with their potential to learn and achieve.

We look to share knowledge and understanding as well as solutions to overcome barriers that children have in getting outdoors and connecting with nature.

We focus our resources on educational settings, because we believe that this is where children will derive the greatest benefit. The school playground is the one outside space that children have frequent access to. Despite the proven benefits of outdoor learning and play, 8 in 10 teachers believe that their school is failing to make the most of these valuable spaces for children.
