Strategies like questioning storytelling tracking mapping and practicing survival skills will inspire student curiosity and encourage self-sufficiency.

I have seen people fully connect to the birds of their landscape discovering hawks foxes and owls with the help of birds and other animals.Coyote's Guide to Connecting with Nature 2nd Edition will change the way you walk in the woods whether by yourself or with your children.
