“This classic volume belongs on any short list of the most important environmental books.”
—Bill McKibben, author of Deep Economy, founder 350.org
Joseph Cornell has won international acclaim through his landmark book, Sharing Nature with Children. Since its publication in 1979, Cornell has toured worldwide, offering his popular nature awareness workshops to tens of thousands of teachers, parents, youth leaders, and naturalists. A prominent environmental educator describes him as “one of the most inspiring educators in the field today.” He is the founder and president of Sharing Nature Worldwide, one of the planet’s most widely respected nature awareness programs.

“The use of Flow Learning makes education about the environment a joy to teach. People’s faces light up with sheer joy and inner understanding.”
—David Tribe, Environmental Education Consultant, Department of Education, New South Wales, Australia

—Richard Louv, author of The Nature Principle, Chairman Emeritus, Children & Nature Network

This is a delightful and indeed, essential guidebook for parents, teachers, and youth leaders.”
—Jean MacGregor, Environmental Educator, The Evergreen State College
“Joseph Cornell has combined and refined the best of his ‘sharing nature’ books in this new 35thanniversary edition. Still my go-to resource for both experienced and new nature leaders, Cornell’s Flow Learning system and nature exploration activities are based on solid educational theory, presented in an elegantly useable way. “
—Janet Carrier Ady, Senior Program and Policy Advisor, National Conservation Training Center, US Fish and Wildlife Service
“This is the one book you’ll need for your nature education library. Whether one is teaching a scout group, class of 5th graders, summer day camp, or teacher workshop, it’s the best planning guide for success. Sharing Nature activities are timeless and profound; I tell all my students, “Get this book and keep it in your back pocket!”
—Tom Mullin, Associate Professor, Parks and Forest Resources, Unity College, Maine

“The Sharing Nature movement that Cornell pioneered has now expanded to countries all over the globe. Recommended by Boy Scouts of America, American Camping Association . . . and many others.”
—Southern Maryland Parent Line
“This classic volume belongs on any short list of the most important environmental books—instead of dire warnings or policy prescriptions, it offers the gift of a more direct connection to the natural world. That connection, once made, is one of the things that can power the movement we need!”
—Bill McKibben, author of Deep Economy; founder 350.org
“For almost 30 years I have been telling students, teachers and leaders on my courses that if they only ever buy one book it should be Sharing Nature with Children! It will give them the tools to immediately immerse children of all ages and backgrounds in the natural world and form the basis for a lasting relationship.
This new edition reflects the thousands of workshops, training sessions and constant feedback generated over the past 35 years. The underlying philosophy has been expanded and deepened, each activity has been carefully reviewed and re-written and, of course, now includes everything in one amazing book. My students will be overjoyed—as will anyone buying this important book.”
