The following student writing pieces (posted November 4, 2009)were part of the Walking Naturalist class during Quarter One of the 2009-10 academic year. Students in this course participated in a pilot experiential learning program of cross-curricular work. The intention of the program was to introduce or re-connect students to the natural world and elements of eco-ethics.
"Stay together, learn the flowers, go light."
We tried to follow these words penned by Gary Snyder as we walked in the woods, constructed our reflections on Aldo Leopold's A Sand County Almanac, and sat around the camp fire discussing concepts of community and love of the land.
