When we give children time to play in natural environments, we promote and value their freedom, independence and choice. Gill (2007) comments that children are disappearing from the outdoors at a rate that would be at the top of any list of endangered species. In research from Aoteoroa New Zealand, Kelly, White, Dekker, Donald, Hart, McKay, McMillan, Mitchell-King and Wright (2013) suggest that engagement with the outdoors is a basic component of our heritage, identity and culture.
