A milestone podcast episode (20!!) with a milestone guest. Lukas met Adam Bienenstock at the Children & Nature Network Conference in California 2019 and they hit it off instantly. As a Playground Designer and general funny guy, Adam does incredible work with getting children into nature. Adam is one of Lukas’s greatest inspirations and mentors. In this long distance catch up over a drink, Adam shares stories about being asked to design the baby panda exhibit at Toronto Zoo, and a table-meeting with Greenpeace, Developers, Nature Play Advocates and an NRA Member. Adam’s honesty and sarcasm is refreshing and contagious in this delightful episode where he and Lukas chat about the importance of connecting with the right people for optimal childhood development, how nature provides the perfect backdrop for risk and play, and how removing sensory engagement increases risk of injury.
