Connecting Children with Nature
| The Nature Literacy Series |
It is one of The Orion Society's founding principles that direct engagement with nature is vitally important for children as well as for adults. Orion is a leader in educational efforts to foster this engagement, collectively known as place-based education. The Orion Society has published the pioneering Nature Literacy Series, compiled many useful resources, and printed many important articles in Orion magazine on place-based education. This site gathers these resources together and will grow to become a centerpoint for shared resources among educators and parents.
