ARCHIVE - Visualizing Ecology - Last Child in the Woods http://www2.evergreen.edu/visecofall/taxonomy/term/6/0 en ARCHIVE - LAst Child http://www2.evergreen.edu/visecofall/last-child <p>    I read through Richard Louv’s Last Child in the Woods off-campus and off-trail, slouched on a rotting log inbetween two massive ferns. I felt this would be the best area for onbtaining the true value of our environment and to harmonize with what Louv writes. I am a child who has grown up in the past two decades however I don’t think that I am victim of what Louv calls Nature-Deficit Disorder. As a kid I spent most of my days catching things at the pond and sitting by the creek, or bathing in it. And by having these experiences and being reminded of them throughout the book I can completely acknowledge the value of a good relationship that every young person should have with nature.    In Last Child  Louv reaches out to the parents to influence their childrens’ involvement in nature whether it be an inter-city family or a farm-raised family.</p> <p><a href="http://www2.evergreen.edu/visecofall/last-child">read more</a></p> http://www2.evergreen.edu/visecofall/last-child#comment Last Child in the Woods Sun, 01 Oct 2006 18:07:29 -0700 zazjak27 164 at http://www2.evergreen.edu/visecofall
