We know that there are real pressures on childhood. We also know that children spend less time with nature and have fewer opportunities to play. Around the world, schools are being called on to to see what they can do to help? Based on over 25 years of experience as a teacher, Craig shows how schools can develop their outdoor learning programmes so that everyone in the school community can benefit and how genuine, long-term, sustainable change can be achieved. As he says, "The best outdoor learning does not cost the earth, but it does take some work." Warm and filled with a depth of experience, this book is an absolute must for anyone involved in a school - leaders, governors, teachers, parents and carers - anyone who can see that, if we really want to make a difference for our children, schools are going to have to be at the forefront of that change.
