environmental education

“Let Nature be your teacher.”
– William Wordsworth


Why is Environmental Education important to us? 

At the roots of environmental stewardship lies environmental education. Environmental education provides people with opportunities to connect and learn in nature. Spending time in nature has proven physiological benefits such as stress reduction, improved creativity, and greater ability to concentrate. Children who are encouraged to play and learn in nature develop greater cognitive abilities and overall physical well being. The natural connections that environmental education fosters also fosters natural values, which motivates environmental stewardship. For these reasons, the SRWS is committed to the promotion of environmental education.
