Formal and informal education and learning in woodlands and green spaces can play an important role in contributing to people΄s health and well-being. Two mechanisms are outlined which might explain this: (1) through general exposure to nature when undertaking educational activities outdoors; (2) through active `hands on΄ intensive and/or extensive contact with nature gained through learning outdoors. Outdoor learning, what it is and what it involves is described as well as three learning theories particularly relevant to outdoor learning. The links between outdoor learning and health focusing on the two mechanisms outlined above are explored in detail. Conclusions highlight potential ways in which to encourage the use of woodlands and green spaces to deliver learning, and health and well-being outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
