Public discussions of global climate change and other threats to the planet are making children more aware of environmental issues. As increasing numbers of kids come to school wishing to take action, educators want to know how to teach in a way that fosters a love of nature and an understanding of the complexity and seriousness of these issues.

This book by David T. Sobel discusses how connection with the natural world begins in our own backyards and communities. Learn how teachers can structure these learning experiences through place-based projects.
