Nature+Walk

I have invited Di Lucas to join this Wiki, the first member. Di is a scientist, educator and writer of children's books. One of her specialties is Nature Walks. When children walk with Di, their eyes and ears, their noses and hearts, all their senses are open to all the experiences the outdoor environment has to offer. Di has a very sensitive way of tuning children into the seasons, the extraordinary beauty and the peculiar ways of the species encountered on a short walk into native habitat. Maybe you would like to contribute to this conversation by writing answers to these questions.

What are some of the ways we can quieten children before or in the process of feeling comfortable in the bush?

Why don't more teachers take children into native areas?

How can we tune children into the reality of habitat pollution and destruction in a way that helps them feel empowered to make a difference?
