Land-Based Learning

Land-Based Learning is an educational approach that uses the natural environment and local land resources as tools for hands-on learning. It connects students with the land through activities like gardening, conservation projects, farming, and outdoor exploration. This method promotes understanding of ecological systems, sustainability, and the cultural significance of land, while developing practical skills and environmental awareness. By engaging directly with the land, students gain a deeper appreciation for natural resources, their community, and their role in stewarding the environment. It fosters experiential learning that is relevant, meaningful, and rooted in real-world ecological and social relationships.
