Most of us, who are passionate about getting kids out in nature or teaching them about nature, don't need a reason. We just adore what we do.
Richard Louv ("Last Child in the Woods") posted this quote on Facebook and I thought it was wonderful.
"Memories of awakening to the existence of some potential, aroused by early experiences of self and world, are scattered through the literature of scientific and aesthetic invention. Autobiographies repeatedly refer to the cause of this awakening as an acute sensory response to the natural world." Edith Cobb
Always remember that those experiences in nature, which you provide, could awaken someone's potential.
Extraordinary idea, isn't it?
