The Get Wild Wyoming initiative is a partnership between the WDE, Wyoming State Parks, Wyoming Game and Fish, Wyoming Department of Health and the Wyoming Department of Family Services. It focuses on supporting the overall mental and physical wellness of a child through nature-based education.
From improving mood to increasing activity levels, nature can nurture us. Research shows that there are many benefits for children who spend time outside. Nature-based education can increase prosocial development, physical activity, and language development in addition to increasing a child’s connection to and respect for nature.
What is nature-based education? It can be any form of learning where children are actively engaging with their natural environment. It can take place at home, in one of our beautiful state parks, at the big pine tree on the school playground, or anywhere outside.
