To Take Nature And Natural

Environment-based Education Produces Student Gains In Social Studies, Science, Language Arts, And Math; Improves Standardized Test Scores And Grade-point Averages; And Develops Skills In Problem-solving, Critical Thinking, And Decision-making.

By Bringing Nature Into Our Lives, We Invite Humility.

To Take Nature And Natural Play Away From Children May Be Tantamount To Withholding Oxygen.

Today's Children Are Living A Childhood Of Firsts. They Are The First Daycare Generation; The First Truly Multicultural Generation; The First Generation To Grow Up In The Electronic Bubble, The Environment Defined By Computers And New Forms Of Television; The First Post-sexual Revolution Generation; The First Generation For Which Nature Is More Abstraction Than Reality; The First Generation To Grow Up In New Kinds Of Dispersed, Deconcentrated Cities, Not Quite Urban, Rural, Or Suburban.

These Days, Unplugged Places Are Getting Hard To Find.
