Outdoor learning and play can help to motivate and stimulate young minds, and positively contribute to children’s health and wellbeing. Having experiences in parks and green spaces allows a connection to develop between young people and the natural world. It can even contribute to safeguarding the environment for future generations!

Every year our Nature Conservation and Forest Rangers work with children from Redbridge and the surrounding boroughs, through environmental education sessions, community group activities and nature events.
