WORKSHOP ON NATURAL PLAY ENVIRONMENTS

Join the Tompkins County Public Library and author Rusty Keeler for an encore workshop on creating natural play environments, Sunday, April 25, 2010 from 2:00 to 4:00 PM in the BorgWarner Community Room.

Keeler is the author of “Natural Playscapes: Creating Outdoor Play Environments for the Soul”, which chronicles, through full-color photos, the new movement in children’s outdoor play environments.

During his presentation, Keeler will show examples of community-built, natural play areas from around the world. A variety of developmentally-appropriate environments full of hills, pathways, sculpture, hidey nooks, fountains, musical elements and sand will be highlighted. The real fun will begin following Keeler’s presentation when participants will be invited to roll up their sleeves and begin planning their own natural playscapes.

This program is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Carrie Wheeler-Carmenatty at (607) 272-4557 extension 248.
