The Relationship between Children's Experiences with Vegetation on School Grounds and Their Environmental Attitudes.

Harvey, Margarette R.

Journal of Environmental Education, v21 n2 p9-15 Win 1989-90

Evaluated is the impact of the landscape upon children in 21 schools in England. Past and present experiences of 8- to 11-year-old children were measured. Results indicate that both past and present experiences make a small but significant contribution to the children's development of botanical knowledge and environmental dispositions. (Author/CW)
