Mudgee Preschool supports Planet Ark National Tree Day.  Children will travel by bus to a local park and plant trees donated by the Mid-Western Regional Council.  By being involved in planting trees in community spaces the children will develop a strong connection to nature and the environment. “Getting outside – beyond our four walls – and experiencing the natural world helps children grow grit, resilience, critical thinking, problem solving and emotional intelligence. Research also shows that outdoor learning and nature time fosters cognitive, emotional and physical development in children”. (PlanetArk)
