Our Story
From a seed of an idea to a South Australian nature movement
Our vision is to inspire the South Australian community to strengthen their wellbeing and connection with nature through outdoor learning, play and conservation.
Established in 2014, Nature Play SA is a not-for-profit organisation that inspires the South Australian community to engage with nature in creative, sustainable, and meaningful ways. Our core belief is that spending time in nature supports wellbeing and fosters deeper connections with the environment and ourselves. And as curiosity and wonder transform into a desire to learn, a new world of understanding, appreciation, and respect can unfold.
Our work sees us develop strong partnerships to broaden our collective impact in schools, communities and regions. Each year our team mentor’s educators and works with thousands of students, families, and other learning providers. Perhaps one of our most significant achievements is the countless people engaged through events and experiences underpinned by nature awareness, immersion, and education.
Through our collaborations we are growing community understanding of ecological concepts, Aboriginal cultures, sustainability, nature’s intrinsic values, and respect for all living things.
