Description

Kindergarten through grade twelve programs need to have more nature based recreation programs in their daily lesson plans. This would encourage kids to take control of their own relationship with nature. It could also encourage kids to choose different career paths that they would like to do. I think using recess time to goon nature hikes or doing nature therapy techniques would be more beneficial than doing sport games or playground activities. This would also be more sanitary and adhere to COVID-19 recommended guidelines. They could be masked, distanced and have a more educational experience while still having fun.
