THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE ENVIROSCHOOL AND NATURE SCHOOL
The Nature School philosophy of
encouraging children to enjoy and interact with nature; to learn in, about and
from nature compliments the sustainability kaupapa of Enviroschools:
If we want children to flourish, to become truly empowered,
then let us allow them to love the earth before we ask them to save it.
