for nature, kinship & play
in every childโs school day.
humans evolved to be in kinship - with each other and with the natural world. yet for the first time in human history, children are spending more time on screens than outdoors in nature, and in many schools nature is still limited. with the national curriculum under review for the first time in over a decade, the window to enable change is now.
weโre calling for a living curriculum - one that weaves nature, play and human connection through the heart of every school subject, for every child, whatever their background. access for all has always been at the heart of our work, and together with 12 wisdom keepers from the play, forest school, permaculture, early years, storytelling, nature connection communities and others, we hold a shared dream - and the know-how to make it a reality.
on friday 29 january 2027 we march for the second reading of the outdoor education bill, which calls for 30 minutes of outdoor learning a day - a vital first step towards nature being woven through every childโs school day. please sign and share our petition, join us in january, and if you would like to get involved in any way, we would love to hear from you.
