Exciting projects to address the gaps and add value for 2013 and beyond : Kids Love Nature The Proposal This programme connects children and families to natural environments. The research evidence is overwhelming that when children have regular natural outdoor experiences, their physical and emotional wellbeing is greatly enhanced. This is also true for families as a whole. A series of visits to Avon Heath Country Park to experience the richness of the beautiful heathland habitat are central to the delivery of this programme. These sessions will be supported by the expertise of the Countryside Rangers and will develop and nurture a positive attitude towards natural outdoor experiences. Each visit will explore a different outdoor experience and feed into the following children’s centre session. These will be highlighted and explored during the training days and detailed in the staff packs. Children’s centre session will be supported by an activity plan.
