With this 2007 Sourcebook, we presesnt an important part of Nature Explore, a collaborative project of the Arbor Day Foundation and Dimensions Educational Research Foundation. At the core of the comprehensive Nature Explore program is outdoor research—field-testing designed spaces, materials, and activities with children ages 2 through 8 to ensure their educational and developmental value. From precision-cut natural tree building blocks to a giant hollow climb-through log, you can quickly see that an outdoor learning environment with natural components is an engaging, creative, alternative to concrete and plastic.
