Children Need More Nature!

The smell of wet leaves, touching moss, discovering the countless little inhabitants of the forest—experiencing nature in the forest shapes our children’s senses and gives them self-confidence.

Deeply rooted in the earth like a magnificent tree—and reaching towards the sky at the same time. Who wouldn’t want this image for their child? Drawing on astonishing facts and recent scientific studies, Maximilian Moser proves that it is not only fun for children to walk in the uneven, rooted forest, but that it trains their balance and forms new synapses and neural pathways in the brain. Exercise in nature can alleviate the effects of ADHD, and essential oils from conifers prevent inflammation and help fight asthma. Not only are the senses stimulated, but the imagination is inspired as well: Magical trees and fairy gardens—the mysterious was and is a special attraction, even for adults.

With ideas and suggestions for what families can do together in the forest and how to create rock and moss gardens at home.
