We all want to create beautiful outdoor natural play and learning environments for our children but isn’t it expensive? Difficult? Out of reach for the average caregiver and center? “No way!” says natural playscape designer and author Rusty Keeler, “You can do it!”

Join Rusty as he shares 30 years of design experience to inspire YOU to dream and plan your own natural playscape makeover “in any yard, on any budget”. You’ll see images of play spaces filled with trees, grass, hills, sand, water, boulders, loose parts, gardens, and more. Rusty’s fun ideas will inspire you to “Dream Big, Start Small, and Never Stop!” with your outdoor playscape journey. This webinar will be super interactive because you are invited to share photos of your outdoor space that may be shared during the session for makeover advice.

If you are interested in being chosen to have Rusty offer advice about your program’s playspace during the webinar, send pictures of your outdoor space to [email protected]

In this fun and inspiring webinar, you will:

• Learn how to add natural elements to your yard that support play and learning
