We realise the importance of establishing and nurturing a love for nature within our youth. Furthermore, the trails offer opportunities for personal reflection and growth, physical involvement, relationships with living beings and an experience of being in nature with a minimum of the usual accoutrements of urban life.
Participants are drawn from schools or youth groups for these trails ranging from five to fifteen days. The longer trails make use of more than one wilderness area. The organisation is intentionally flexible, particularly for the longer trails and there is an experiential aspect to each.
Fields of knowledge explored on these experientially based educational foot trails include:
|
 |
The cultural and spiritual significance of the human-earth relationship. |
| |
Sustainability of the relationship between human needs and the products of the natural world. |
| |
The interface between environmental and social issues. |
| |
The need to establish and conserve wilderness areas. |
| |
Principles of ecology and systems-thinking. |
| |
Respect for all life. |
The minimum age for participants is fifteen and the maximum number of scholars per group is eight.
