Wild About Play Project
The Wild About Play Project was a networking project to support, develop and promote environmental play opportunities for children to play freely in and around natural outdoor environments (wild spaces). The project was initially funded through Better Play (2002 –2005). These pages give further detail to the project.

We would welcome any views, ideas or information about children’s environmental play in the South West (and beyond).
