This is the ultimate resource for educators who want to learn more about setting up a program that will get kids outdoors and learning through nature. It sets out core routines and discusses how you can use them to create an environment where the teacher, as a mentor, can connect students with natural history.
The book also contains 54 field-tested activities, complete with alternatives and extensions, that will allow students to develop a meaningful relationship with their natural surroundings. At 576 pages, it's not a quick read, but since it's designed like a field guide, complete with tabs, it's easy to navigate and very adaptable to a variety of learning situations.
