Outdoor learning is a rapidly growing model in early childhood settings. The Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne held a seminar in April 2016 to hear what is so compelling about this model and what is happening throughout Australia and internationally with Sue Elliott. The seminar also heard from ECOLN member Doug Fargher, and has a chance to explore RBG Cranbourne to find out what is required of a setting and how to deal with risks in the bush.
