Why Place Matters: Discovering Sustainability in Your Own Backyard (Ep 32)
"We don't have anything interesting—we're just in the suburbs."
If you've ever thought this about your outdoor space, this episode will change how you see your service's environment forever.
In Part 2 of the Reflect, Reconnect, and Reimagine Sustainability series, Bron and Lil explore why place-connected learning is the missing link in making sustainability feel real for children. Not abstract lessons about faraway rainforests, but tangible connections to the trees, birds, puddles, and weather patterns right outside your door.
Drawing on their work with educators across diverse settings: urban, suburban, and regional, they share the Five Foundation Questions that help any service become its own researchers. You'll hear how services transformed "just a carpark" and "ordinary gardens" into rich learning environments where children develop genuine care and stewardship.
This isn't about having access to wilderness. It's about learning to see what's already there.
Are you keen to ground sustainability in what's right outside your door?
