Given compelling evidence that time spent in natural places has multiple benefits for human health and wellbeing and pro-environmental behaviour, there is an impetus to find ways to increase children's exposure to and attachment to nature through their education. The chapters in this book were originally peer-reviewed articles published in 'Education 3-13: International Journal of Primary, Elementary and Early Years Education'. They are amongst the most popular in the journal, reflecting the demand for more evidence of outcomes and high-quality information about how best to implement outdoor learning for children in this age group. The authors report qualitative and quantitative studies and consider implications of the findings for children and their development, and for the integration (or not) of natural environment contexts within school practices.
