School's Out 53
Alan Smith Founder and Director, Nature Wave
Spending time outdoors with children does not need to be complicated. A walk, a game outside, listening to birdsong, or exploring colours, textures and smells can all help build a meaningful connection with nature. Time in green and blue spaces is proven to support wellbeing, curiosity and happiness. Activities such as creating nature colour palettes, collecting leaves and flowers, or using the free Seek by iNaturalist app to identify wildlife can make discovery exciting. By making nature fun and accessible, we help children develop a lifelong appreciation for the natural world. “Making nature fun and accessible helps children develop a lifelong appreciation for the world around them.”

We just need to make money a conversation that’s welcomed at home.”
