Rangers of the Earth is the most comprehensive earth education programme published so far. If used in classrooms, it can provide the framework for an entire year's studies, integrating all subjects into the excitement. It can also be run as an after-school "club", or for Scouts or other youth groups. If you have a meeting place, willing leaders, and a local natural area with easy access for the participants, this programme is for you.

Letters from Earth Rangers "Rami" and "Rain" introduce the activities and applaud the youngsters' accomplishments.

When participants complete the programme to become Earth Rangers, they can register at a Ranger Station and continue to watch out for and care for their local natural places. Even if you can't run the programme yourself, you might be able to set up a Ranger Station for nearby youngsters.

This book is:

• 260 pages

• for nature re centre staff, classroom teachers, & youth leaders

• for those looking to forge positive connections between young people and local natural areas, while helping them examine their own lifestyle
