Nowadays children live mostly in the imprisonment of their home and school walls. Several reasons have pushed children indoors, including technology, migration to cities and their development, demands on children’s time (homework, parental fear of strangers…). In these times of indoor children, personal connections with nature seem hard to attain, an aspect which is related to a decrease on the environment care on the part of future gener-ations. Increasing proofs demonstrate many benefits of nature on children’s physical and psychological wellbeing, such as reduction of stress, better physical health, more creativity and a better focus on their tasks. Furthermore, an increase of leisure time on greener areas might enable children to learn more successfully, improving their ability to concentrate in the classroom.
