Resumo

Os educadores ambientais reconhecem a importância de aproximar os jovens à natureza, embora os sistemas educacionais atuais operem dentro de estruturas que precisam de melhorar essa ligação. Este artigo contribui para a crescente literatura sobre a forma como os espaços ao ar livre podem ser usados e valorizados como parte de práticas de aprendizagem para promover a ligação dos jovens à natureza. Estes são tópicos cada vez mais relevantes devido a fenómenos de transtorno de déficit da natureza (Louv, 2005) e disparidade de conhecimento sobre as plantas (Hiatt et al., 2021), que desafiam os sistemas de educação a superá-los. Este estudo descreve iniciativas de aprendizagem ao ar livre sobre coleções de árvores de Pecan [Carya illinoensis (Wangenh.) K. Koch] e Pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) e combina elementos de abordagens de investigação qualitativa e quantitativa, segundo a Investigação de Métodos Mistos (Johnson et al., 2007). É discutido o valor das visitas a coleções de árvores como uma estratégia para aumentar a ligação dos jovens à natureza e enriquecer os currículos escolares.
