EEASC 2025 Conference: Making Waves

It's not just a playground, It's an outdoor play and learning environment! Come learn about Grow Outdoors South Carolina, a state initiative partnering with the National Wildlife Federation and the Natural Learning Initiative to transform early childhood outdoor spaces into stimulating naturalized environments that spark play and learning. Then, hear a case study of Conestee Nature Preserve’s new playscape. We will share lessons learned from design to implementation.  Learn of local initiatives engaging with communities to develop natural learning environments and ideas of nature play elements you can include at your park or school!
