Abstract: The following are direct observations of, and excerpts from, study participants' responses to the interview questions. ConclusionsThe following conclusions are based on the participants' responses specific to the interview data.-Nature-Based learning, based on this limited study, builds student confidence, self-awareness, and selfesteem based on the participating teachers' observations.-Leadership and risk-taking behaviour is also frequently observed by most participating teachers.-Similar to the larger body of research on naturebased learning, students appear more calm, happy, focused, collaborative and empathetic when learning in the forest, as opposed to the classroom, according to study participants.This study has supported the larger body of research stating that nature-based learning positivity affects student achievement and well-being.In order to make further conclusions, more data is required.
