For more than 20 years EcoKids has created educational resources for teachers, students, parents and communities to engage in environmental action.
Earth Day Canada has introduced outdoor play as an important foundational pillar of education. Outdoor, self-directed play is one of the best ways to connect children to their environment and community; to nurture their ingenuity, independence and sense of agency; and to support their mental and physical well-being.
By fostering a meaningful connection to the environment through outdoor play, children are more likely to grow into adults able to address larger environmental challenges such as climate change and conservation.
