Champion of adventurous, nature-based play
Lukas Ritson is the creator of the Ecology of Play philosophy and the founder of Wearthy, which he established in 2013. He champions adventurous, nature-based play that builds resilience, confidence and connection.
With a background in environmental science and early childhood education, Lukas has shaped the philosophy through more than 200 playground projects — designing environments that have impacted tens of thousands of children across Australia and beyond.
He presented the Ecology of Play at TEDxUQ, and trains educators, parents and communities in how children learn and develop through purposeful, nature-connected play.
