In this episode I talk to Daniel Burton, a nature educator specialising in outdoor classrooms and the co-founder of Educated by Nature. We discuss the program’s mission to boost the mental, emotional, and physical health of children through connections with nature. Daniel shares the origin story of Educated by Nature, inspired by his experience teaching outdoors at Bold Park Community School. He explains the benefits observed in neurodivergent children and the overall positive impact of outdoor learning on academic performance, social interaction, and resilience. Daniel provides educators and parents with valuable advice on how to incorporate nature into learning and play.
