The article describes part of the research conducted on a sample of 156 teachers working in 17 primary schools in the Lublin and Wielkopolska Provinces. Among the objectives of the research project was to find about the difficulties being experienced by teachers relating to outdoor education. The problems pointed by the respondents were mostly connected with children’s safety, discipline, weather conditions, poor learning habits outside the classroom, and the lack of approval by head teachers for this form of education. About 50% of the surveyed teachers highlighted that access to high-quality training courses was being hampered, including to outdoor education. The results obtained encourage further and thorough research in this field.
