Welcome to Nature Play SA

Our vision is to inspire the South Australian community to engage children in nature through outdoor learning and play.

We’re a not-for-profit organisation that started in 2014 with start-up funding from the South Australian Government. Our vision was simple – to get more children outside playing in nature. In their backyards, local parks and wilder places, like National Parks.

We have a passion for our children, and the children we engage, with strong beliefs that guide us both personally and professionally. We believe in family, community and the important role of adults have to play in connecting children with nature. And, it’s our belief in childhood that sees our team determinedly working to re-establish nature as an important, and irreplaceable, part of children’s lives.

Our start-up funding concluded in June 2018 and we’ve worked hard toward becoming entirely self-funded and continue to make great in-roads. This isn’t something we’ve achieved, or can continue to achieve on our own, but with the continued support of the Nature Play SA community we’ve grown since we began. And we are ever so thankful.
