Nature Play Online Panel Discussion
COMPLETED: Thursday 23 July
Nature play is a broad term that is subjective and highly interpretive. This became even more evident following our Nature Play online learning event, with the significant amount of discussion and positive feedback we received surrounding the way Nature Play can be approached.
In response to this feedback we hosted an interactive virtual forum with a panel of Landscape Industry professionals to further explore this polarising topic, promote healthy discussion and share new perspectives on Nature Play.

Panellists:
• Amanda Balmer – Director @ WAX Design
