Nature Base training goes beyond outdoor activity delivery. It focuses on how play, nature connection and relational practice can be used to support emotional wellbeing, inclusion and development.

Training is grounded in experiential learning and reflective practice, supporting practitioners to understand how outdoor environments can become spaces for regulation, connection and therapeutic support.

  • Play as a tool for emotional regulation and wellbeing

  • Therapeutic approaches to outdoor and Forest School practice

  • Supporting children with additional needs (SEN) in natural environments

  • Neurodiversity, inclusion and trauma-aware outdoor facilitation
