David Sobel's follow-up to Nature Preschools and Forest Kindergartens walks readers through the nitty-gritty facts of running a nature-based program. Organized around nine themes, each chapter begins with an overview from the author, followed by case studies from diverse early childhood programs, ranging from those that serve at-risk children to public preschools to university farm programs to Waldorf schools.

Sample newsletters in each chapter show how real programs have tackled tough questions and sticky situations. The program featured in these newsletters are from across the United States: Maryland, New York, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Alabama, Con?necticut, Illinois, Vermont, California, Michigan, Rhode Island, Louisiana, and Indiana.
Industry Reviews
"Take this book outside, sit under a tree, and feel inspired! Using stories from early childhood programs from across the country, David Sobel shows the reader how to use the outdoors to meet all areas of development. He provides the research to convince even the most skeptical families, funders, and administrators of the benefits of the great outdoors." --Julie Powers, MA, associate professor of early childhood education at University of Hawaii Maui College and coauthor of Nature-Based Learning for Young Children
