This webinar provides ideas, activities and approaches that help connect you and your children to nature, and foster a sense of care for the Earth and place.

The webinar introduces participants to:

* The ‘core routines of nature connection’, including sit spots, mapping, exploring field guides, and tips for bringing these routines into your children's lives.

* Bird language and how much we can learn about the non-human world by learning and paying attention to the voices of the birds.

* Nature journaling as a practice that builds connection and awareness of nature.

* Some simple games and activities that can be done with one or more children.

Participants will be provided with a video link of the recording and a list of links and resources that can support parents in connecting their children to nature.

The webinar is being presented by Emma Brindal, with guest presenter Bethan Burton.
