Meant To Be Naturalists

Jenkinson Lake September 2014 (4)
“It would be well if we all persons in authority, parents and all who act for parents, could make up our minds that there is no sort of knowledge to be got in these early years so valuable to children as that which they get for themselves of the world they live in. Let them once get in touch with Nature, and a habit is formed which will be a source of delight through life. We were all meant to be naturalists, each in his degree, and it is inexcusable to live in a world so full of the marvels of plant and animal life and to care for none of these things.”

    1. Ahh…such a timely reminder. Thank you! We’re watching snow fall and are looking for 12 more inches before tomorrow morning. What at lovely reason to really SEE and study the world around us!
