“When a copy of Sharing Nature with Children landed in our midst, the teacher/ naturalists were like vultures competing for the kill. Most of us were new to environmental education. We had ecology textbooks and field guides, but little else besides what our hearts were guiding us to do. Here in this book, we found everything—philosophy, activities, and ways to lead children to meaningful environmental education experiences. It was hugely significant to us—it was our guide and our compass.” —Lucy Gertz, Environmental Educator, New England, USA
