Coyote's Guide To Connecting With Nature
Jon YOUNG, Ellen HAAS, Evan McGOWN
Coyote's Guide is a deep immersion in the connection with nature. The authors are incredibly generous in sharing their 360° experiences. They talk about their original and meaningful teaching methods, and share both their educational and naturalist insights. More than just a book, this is a course that is as dense as it is inspiring.

Dirty Teaching
Juliet ROBERTSON
There are lots of books offering ideas for outdoor activities for children. Unfortunately, they are often aimed at the very young. Yes, we can still learn outdoors, even when we're older! A clear book, with cheerful ideas, detailed and fun to read.

his is a must-read if you teach in an IB school (International Baccalaureate)! How do you link inquiry (from the outdoors as much as possible) to the formation of concepts in each phase of the learning journey? The book explains the theory in a very clear and appealing way. Are you already involved in nature education and want to take your practice further for your pupils? This book is for you.
