Children require frequent access to nature. Being in nature provides immense benefits for children throughout the developmental domains (Powers & Ren, 2018). This should include uninterrupted time throughout the year so they can experience the natural changes of the environment and how it impacts all of nature. Regular access to nature allows children to explore their environment, engage in self-determined play, engage in real work and sensory-based activities, and take physical and emotional risks. Adults foster these activities and experiential learning opportunities through providing extended time outdoors and supporting the interests of children (Fox et al., 2020).
