Beyond Ecophobia: Reclaiming the Heart in Nature Education (2nd Edition)

Once children feel connected to the environment and see it as home, they invariably develop feelings of compassion and concern for improving their environment. Exploration of the natural world begins in early childhood, flourishes between ages seven and eleven and can be sustained in adolescence as a source of strength. Author calls for having children close to nature as often as possible, letting them learn about it at their own rate through a process of discovery.
