The average child can identify over one thousand corporate logos,
but only ten native plants or animals-a telling indictment of our
modern disconnection from nature. Soaring levels of obesity, high
rates of ADHD, feelings of stress and social awkwardness, and
"Nature Deficit Disorder" are further unintended consequences of a
childhood spent primarily indoors. The Big Book of Nature
Activities is a comprehensive guide for parents and educators to
help youth of all ages explore, appreciate and connect with the
natural world. This rich, fully illustrated compendium features:
Nature-based skills and activities such as species identification,
photography, journaling, and the judicious use of digital
technology Ideas, games, and activities grounded in what's
happening in nature each season Core concepts that promote
environmental literacy, such as climate change and the mechanisms
and wonder of evolution, explained using a child-friendly, engaging
approach Lists of key species and happenings to observe throughout
the year across most of North America Perfect for families,
educators, and youth leaders , The Big Book of Nature Activities is
packed with crafts, stories, information and inspiration to make
outdoor learning fun. Jacob Rodenburg is the Executive Director of
the Camp Kawartha summer camp and outdoor education centre. As well
as publishing numerous articles on children, nature and the
environment, he has worked in the field of outdoor education for
twenty-five years. Drew Monkman is an award-winning environmental
advocate, naturalist, and retired teacher. In addition to his

guides, including Nature's Year.
