What are some of the most impactful ways we can facilitate children’s connections to nature? In
this workshop we will explore E.O. Wilson’s “Nine Biophilic Values” through art, music,
motion, games, building, and interpersonal exercises. You will hear, see, and replicate nature-
based activities that resonate most with young children in forest school, as well as examine your
own preferences and affinity for different aspects of the natural world. The goal of this workshop
is to provide the participant with practical insight and tools that can help them build a positive
foundation on which children can bond with the local natural environment. They will walk away
with new ideas and resources for strengthening the relationship between children and nature.
