“Man With Nature
During most of mans existence,
the outdoors has been his home
In the open spaces he has sought
food and shelter, enjoyed what
leisure time was available, and
taught his offspring how to live
Now, in the twentieth century,
and in one of the world’s greatest
materialist cultures, modern
man turns to outdoor living to
spend some of his newly acquired

free time. Most people would
immediately agree that it is good
for man to spend time in the
outdoors, to participate in ac
tivities that will help him enjoy,
understand, and appreciate
nature’s phenomena The out
doors is, after all, man’s earliest
and—both literally and
figuratively—his most natural
home
But modern living has removed
large segments of the population
from close contact with the land,
and has created a need for man to
learn about his physical universe
and to acquire the skills and

appreciations necessary to enjoy
fully some of the values of his
original habitat To meet these
needs, a broad educational
program will be required—one
which has implications for all the
institutions, organizations, and
agencies that impinge on the
educative process Such a
program encompasses all ages
and includes all the planned and
contrived learning experiences
available in the community. The
home, church, school, and
community agencies and
government, voluntary and
professional organizations are all
involved in the educative
process Although changing
times affect the nature and
functions of public education, all
types of educational programs
must be involved in any con
sideration of adaptation to meet
man’s present day needs.
The characteristics and trends
of today’s society constitute the
setting for outdoor education
The outdoors can serve many of
the present-day needs of people
physical, emotional, spiritual
Machines insure production,
education must provide for the
creative and wise use of ex
panded free time It has been
predicted that automation will
change our lives as much as did
the Industrial Revolution. An
enormous task lies ahead in
upgrading the activities of a
sizable proportion of our
population, to swing them away
from the frivolous to the con
structive use of their leisure
hours
Outdoor education is needed to
enrich and vitalize education and
create an awareness that man
will have to adapt to his en
vironment, rather than attempt
to adapt the environment to him.
Instead of “man against nature”
he must choose to be “man with
nature” and to come into har
mony and equilibrium with the
natural world around him.
