Why Disturb the World Outside?

Horwood, Bert

Pathways: The Ontario Journal of Outdoor Education, v6 n1 p5-7 Dec 1993

Outdoor education programs help students realize their "wild" nature by linking them concretely with their surroundings, providing stories that explain the natural world, encouraging feelings of wonder, and expanding identification with nature as parts of the world, previously perceived as "outside," become part of the self.
