About the author

I’m Lidia, founder of Big Scrub Nature Play and author of Growing with Nature.

I’m currently undertaking a Certificate in Therapeutic Skills for Outdoor Leaders, exploring how Forest School and nature play practices can support children’s emotional wellbeing, especially those with additional needs or challenges. These are the reflections and insights emerging from this journey — exploring how children can learn, grow and heal with nature. 🌿
