This novel text brings together research and practice on the intersection between arts and nature, and their impact on children and young people’s wellbeing, health equality, and sustainability.

Existing literature focuses on either the impact of the arts or the impact of being in/with nature on children’s and young people’s wellbeing.

However, the intersection between the two – arts and nature – and their combined effect on wellbeing has received limited attention. Through five research-based and seven practice-based chapters, this book draws upon arts-in-nature practices that incorporate visual arts, music, movement, drama and poetry, in a range of natural environments, such as forests, beaches, greenhouses, parks, community areas and school playgrounds.

Arts in Nature with Children and Young People will appeal to anyone working with children and young people, including mental health and healthcare professionals, teachers, researchers, artists, and arts therapists.

It is also an accessibly guide for parents and families looking for inspiration and ideas for creative and outdoor activities.
