That’s one reason Norfolk is the perfect setting for Nature’s Calling Forest School, an amazing environmental education program for kids that helps them learn all about the great outdoors. I braved the cold to talk to Colleen Dale, co-founder of Nature’s Calling, to get an inside look at how learning in nature can contribute to the health and happiness of our children (and our planet).

Check out the video and see how getting the kids to put down their devices and look up at the trees can really make a difference.
