Making play spaces more natural can be surprisingly complex. The Natural Learning Initiative, a design and assistance program of the College of Design, North Carolina State University, has partnered with PlayCore, a company that specializes in recreation products and programs, to create a guide to best practices that bring nature back to childrens’ playgrounds. NatureGrounds is available free on the NatureGrounds website, along with a searchable plant database. You can also get a copy by contacting PlayCore at info@playcore.com.
