Restoring Nature Play for All
What they say...
"Learning to be a docent, a tour guide, I was overwhelmed by boring green details. Then I received a mentor, who lit up my understanding about plants, the environment and myself in it. I was rescued." "I’ve known Nikki since she mentored me when I was getting my start in the fields of early childhood advocacy and parent education. Later, she gave me sage advice in my writing. I know that her work in natural play spaces will bring together her deep respect for children, her detailed knowledge of the natural world, and her understanding of creativity and how to foster creativity in others. I wish every child could play in a space designed by Nikki Julien." --Launa Hall, writer and early childhood advocate |
"(Nikki) is one of the most dedicated educators that I know. She's truly got a passion for outdoor education and getting students and communities involved in projects." |
"Your session ("Ungardening" at the Pop UP Adventure Play Campference) was such a wonderful surprise." "We reached out to Nikki when designing a professional development for early childhood educators regarding nature play and outdoor classroom design. We knew she would be a great resource for us because of her extensive knowledge of Sonoran Desert flora, nature play and design experience. Nikki reviewed our agenda and gave very helpful and thoughtful feedback. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to enhance their outdoor play experiences or training offerings." |
