OUR MISSION
Big Scrub Nature Play started in 2019 with a vision to inspire children and families to spend more time outdoors.​​
Our Growing with Nature program weaves in play, mindfulness and Restorative Storytelling™ to nurture a deeper connection with Mother Earth, with our community and with ourselves.
ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Lidia! In 2019, I started Big Scrub with the vision of sharing my love for nature play and nature pedagogy with families and educators across Australia. But along the way, I discovered that intentional time spent in nature with our children can offer so much more - it can become a tool for presence, and above all, connection.
I am a fully qualified Forest School leader with certifications in Therapeutic nature play, Restorative storytelling and Mindfulness in nature.
I am proud to have worked with hundreds of families and children and my biggest love project to date has been the publication of my first book, Growing with Nature.
