Helle Nebelong: Designing a natural playground

BBC World Service - In the Studio, Helle Nebelong: Designing a natural playground

The Danish landscape architect takes on a major challenge in Illinois

Landscape architect Helle Nebelong designs one of America's largest natural playgrounds.

Danish landscape architect Helle Nebelong is a pioneer of the natural playground movement. Natural playgrounds are made of natural materials, rather than plastics, but they also encourage creativity and independence rather than rule-based games.

In the Studio follows Helle as she faces her biggest challenge yet - designing one of America's largest natural playgrounds, at Colene Hoose School in Normal, Illinois.
