To support educators, families, and administrators with effective resources to help young children connect with nature, the Arbor Day Foundation and Dimensions Educational Research Foundation have developed the Nature Explore program. Based on years of Dimensions’ research and field testing, each Nature Explore resource can be used alone or in concert to help children make closer connections to nature and develop a lifelong sense of wonder.
Nature Explore Workshops offer flexible, site specific help to educators to bring the benefits of nature into both indoor and outdoor classrooms. Each Nature Explore Workshop provides research-based, fieldtested activities that support comprehensive learning with nature.
