Resumo:Environmental and outdoor educators acknowledge the importance of connecting young people to nature, yet current education systems functions within frameworks that need to enhance such connection. This paper adds to the growing literature on the way outdoor learning spaces can be used and valued as part of learning practices to promote young students’ connection to nature. These are increasingly relevant topics due to phenomena of nature deficit disorder (Louv, 2005) and plant awareness disparity (Hiatt et al., 2021), which challenge education systems to overcome them. This study is focused on outdoor learning initiatives about tree collections of Pecan [Carya illinoensis (Wangenh.) K. Koch] and Pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) and combines elements of qualitative and quantitative research approaches, within Mixed Methods Research (Johnson et al., 2007). It is discussed the value of visits to tree collections as a strategy to enhance young students’ connection to nature and enrich school curricula.
