Access to nature in the UK is still unequal and we need to open our eyes and make changes. All children should be able to spend time in nature, with ease.

Sand and water are wonderful teaching tools. Whether you use them to teach science, maths, art, geography or something else entirely, children will not only learn but have fun doing it!

Nature is a powerful tool to support mental wellbeing!

"The genius of nature is that as well relaxing us, it lifts us up, making us feel inspired, energised and more likely to get on with our To Do Lists."
