This webinar recording looks at what we mean by ‘natural play’ and explores the evidence on why it matters for children, especially those growing up in increasingly dense, risk-averse and urban environments.
We look at how green and “wild” spaces nurture creativity, resilience and build connection to nature and how spaces and places for natural play can be created and managed. We also reflect on some of the cultural and systemic barriers that developers, planners, landscape architects and play practitioners face, from fears over safety and maintenance regimes, to approaches to mess, liability and supervision.
