Stop by our booth!
At Bienenstock Natural Playgrounds, we collaborate with science centres to transform outdoor spaces into immersive, nature-based learning environments. Our work spans site master planning, nature play and outdoor learning design, and full installation—creating spaces that are both educational and engaging.
If you’re exploring how your outdoor space can elevate educational programming, increase visitor engagement, and deepen connections with the natural world, we’s love to talk.
Panel Discussion:
Living Classrooms: Reimagining Science, Education, and Community Through Nature
Speakers: Adam Bienenstock, Founder, Bienenstock Natural Playgrounds, Jamie McMillan, Meewasin Valley Authority, & Cassidy Mazur, IISD Experimental Lakes Area
Description:
Across research institutions, urban wild spaces, and schoolyards, a quiet transformation is underway. Educators and scientists are reimagining nature not as a field trip destination, but as essential infrastructure for learning, health, and climate resilience. This panel explores how equity-centered, curiosity-driven, and sensory-rich nature experiences can bridge research science, community engagement, and regenerative design. From youth programming inside research facilities to community-led urban conservation and soil-based school transformation, our speakers will share how participatory, place-based science is reshaping education — and our relationship to the natural world.
