About the Website

Welcome!

LearnFromNature is about ideas to get Children and Nature closer together!

Read my regular blog about environmental and environmental education issues - click here  

So many children are now disconnected from their natural environment, growing up in urban areas right away from any kind of outdoor experiences. The term ‘nature deficit’ has been created to highlight the very real issue. This website will, it is hoped, contribute to the discussion with some concrete ideas to help bridge the gap – so we can learn from nature.
