By: Bienenstock On the heels of his successful Australian speaking tour with Risk and Play expert Tim Gill, and following a string of sold out engagements at the NAEYC Conference in Washington D.C. and the Canadian Injury Prevention and Safety Promotion Conference in Montreal, the BCRPA again welcomes Adam to speak on the topic of connecting kids to nature and community engagement. As part of the Bringing Nature to Life lecture series, “Getting Past the Grown Ups” outlines how providing natural elements and components in urban parks and playgrounds can dramatically improve community health and wellness. Adam explains what natural playgrounds are and why they are important, and offers practical starting points for grass roots initiatives. The workshop “Natural Playgrounds” “Similar to what everyone else has said, this was one of the most interesting and enjoyable presentations I have listened to in my 15 years in Local Government…I can say that we have all walked away motivated and with strategies in mind to work with our Council teams and support them in creating Nature Play areas in our communities. We are already keen to have Adam return for another visit.” "We came out of his session with the ammunition, ability, and desire to create our own natural playground," On Twitter @bienenstock On Facebook join the Group: Bienenstock Natural Playgrounds On Pinterest: Pinterest.com/ On the web: naturalplaygrounds.com About Natural Playgrounds Headed by Adam Bienenstock, the company mission is to connect children and communities to nature through play.
