Tasting the Berries: Deep Ecology and Experiential Education.

Horwood, Bert

Journal of Experiential Education, v14 n3 p23-26 Nov 1991

Experiential education can provide a framework for transmitting and inculcating the values and philosophy of deep ecology. The ideal outdoor experiential program would include the deep-ecology principles of (1) knowledge and sense of place; (2) wholeness of self; (3) identification with nature; (4) integrity of program practices with espoused values; and (5) valuing wildness.
