Time In Nature Is Not

Children Who Played Outside Every Day, Regrdless Of Weather, Had Better Motor Coordination And More Ability To Concentrate.

In Every Bio-region, One Of The Most Urgent Tasks Is To Rebuild The Community Of Naturalists - So Radically Depleted In Recent Years, As Young People Have Spent Less Time In Nature, And Higher Education Has Placed Less Value On Such Disciplines As Zoology……the Times Are Right For The Return Of The Amateur, Twenty-first-century, Citizen Naturalist. To Be A Citizen Naturalist Is To Take Personal Action, To Both Protect And Participate In Nature.

We Have Such A Brief Opportunity To Pass On To Our Children Our Love For This Earth, And To Tell Our Stories. These Are The Moments When The World Is Made Whole. In My Children's Memories, The Adventures We've Had Together In Nature Will Always Exist.

What Would Our Lives Be Like If Our Days And Nights Were As Immersed In Nature As They Are In Technology?

In Our Bones We Need The Natural Curves Of Hills, The Scent Of Chaparral, The Whisper Of Pines, The Possibility Of Wildness.
