On Thurs., Nov. 17,Sean Shaffer (Nature Play Specialist at the Chicago Park District), will present “Stacking Sticks in Chicago Parks: Why Nature Play is More Important Now Than Ever”. Participants will learn about the purpose of play, the benefits of nature play spaces for child development, and the steps one can take to create nature play spaces in their communities.
