Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education
Some 10 years after the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act and three decades after Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act was enacted, park and recreation professionals still struggle with removing barriers to their facilities and programs in order to provide inclusive opportunities and full participation to people with disabilities. For many, compliance means meeting the minimum standards, "What is the least I have to do to get by?" For others, many of the struggles with barrier removal and ADA compliance can be attributed to lack of understanding of the needs and preferences of people with disabilities accessing recreation …

Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education
The Coalition for Education in the Outdoors exists to support the broad purpose of education in, for, and about the outdoors for ALL people. This special issue of Taproot, "Accessible Outdoors," looks closely at the regulations, current issues, and best practices in ensuring that all people have the opportunity to play and learn in the out of doors. Research has consistently shown that people with disabilities want the same experiences in the outdoors that all people want, from a pristine wilderness experience to a day in the park to a guided nature walk at the local nature center. Today, we …

Inclusive Outdoor Education And Environmental Interpretation, Leo H. Mcavoy And Stuart J. Schleien
Inclusive Outdoor Education And Environmental Interpretation, Leo H. Mcavoy And Stuart J. Schleien
Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education
Traditional outdoor education and environmental interpretive facilities and programs rarely include persons with physical and cognitive disabilities and therefore do not serve a major segment of the population. This is significant when one considers that there are approximately 43 million Americans who have some form of disability (National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitative Research, 1998). Most people with disabilities attend educational and recreational programs, including interpretive programs, with family and friends (Mactavish & Schleien, 2000). If a person with a disability is discouraged from attending outdoor education and interpretive programs because of perceived lack of access or accommodation, then that …

A Work In Progress: Accessible Trails, Campsites, And Other Outdoor Recreation Areas, John N. Mcgovern
Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education
The Americans with Disabilities Act has been in effect since January 26, 1992. During that time, a tremendous change has occurred in the field of parks and recreation. The federal government has developed and issued regulations governing the design and construction of new recreation facilities and areas and continues to work in this area. Courts and administrative decisions have balanced the right to leisure and recreation opportunities for persons with disabilities, with the fundamental nature of certain leisure experiences. And through it all, states, counties, cities, and special purpose districts that do provide park and recreation experiences, and yes, private …

Most of the content is based upon the experiences and methods employed by Wilderness Inquiry, which have also been documented in the book, "Integrated Outdoor Education and Adventure Programs" (Schleien, McAvoy, Lais, & Rynders, 1993).
Camping Programs - Critical Success Factors In Accessible Programs, Margarita Solis
Camping Programs - Critical Success Factors In Accessible Programs, Margarita Solis
Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education
According to Havens (1992), the last two decades alone have brought legal action and legislation which mandate inclusion of people with disabilities in educational, recreational and vocational settings, including camping programs. The process of deinstitutionalization has placed many individuals with disabilities back in the community to live, work, and play. Moreover, the barriers to participation by persons with disabilities in programs are no longer insurmountable. As camps continue to progress and offer an expansion of opportunities, camps are experiencing the necessity to provide programs and develop facilities that are available to persons with all ability levels.

Destined to become a classic, should be made into a film, a must read ... , what additional superlatives can a reviewer make about a book?

In this day and age when the electronification of childhood is common place, Middleton's saga can inspire youngsters to seek outdoor pursuits that will open their eyes to adventures far greater than any contrived by some virtual reality …

Developing Aquatic Resource Stewards, Anthony J. Fedler, William F. Siemer, Barbara A. Knuth And Bruce E. Matthews
Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education
Intuitively there exists a strong relationship between participation and stewardship activity, and the significant life experiences research conducted by Tanner (1980) and others offers some support for this. A fundamental tenet in many angler and boater education programs is the importance of caring for aquatic resources, with the logical assumption being that the deeper the connection built with the natural world through fishing or boating experiences, the more likely stewardship outcomes will occur. Outdoor recreation activities place the participant in direct contact with nature, thereby heightening environmental awareness and concern (Geisler et al. 1977). Work by Nabhan (1994) and others …
A Case For The Place Of Music In The Outdoor Education Program, Marie Bernardy
A Case For The Place Of Music In The Outdoor Education Program, Marie Bernardy
Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education
Knowing this, music can become an indispensable part of outdoor education programs because music summons the basic connections that sustain human life: our fellow humans and the planet Earth. Recognizing nature as the point of origin for sounds in music is to truly touch the roots of music. Recognizing music as a form of communication for humans is to touch the roots of culture. Thus, we have a triad of influences among people, nature and music. This triad is worth exploring in outdoor education programs because of what it can teach participants about themselves and about their world.

This issue of Taproot launches a two-part series about music and outdoor education. It is sad, but true, that many outdoor programs include little or no music learning opportunities for participants. Music is relegated to the realm of campfire singing for the most part and hence, an important avenue to fostering environmental consciousness is lost. Byron wrote of music played without end by the natural world:

Review: The Public Television Series, Journey To Planet Earth, Patrick K. Pryor
Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education
Sensational journalism, dramatic music, real science, and vivid computer animation lead the viewer on a journey across a world of cultures. At each stop one is compelled to feel compassion for the citizens of the far away region, and for those in our own highly developed nation. Although technologically advanced, the US is not immune to the same ecological, political, and racial predicaments. The narrator illuminates this immunity using rhetoric laced with American pride.

There is a sound that is foreign to this place. I would guess a locomotive. A train in the distance? No, it's the voice of my heart rushing hot red life through my body as it comes closer. She knows I'm here. She passes 10 feet from me. The Lion can hear me breathe.

From Romanticism To Deep Ecology: The Continuing Evolution In American Environmental Thought, David Ackerson
From Romanticism To Deep Ecology: The Continuing Evolution In American Environmental Thought, David Ackerson
Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education
Nash argues that compared to the millennia of anti-wilderness sentiment. the pace of intellectual change in the previous two centuries is so rapid that it must be considered revolutionary (1982 P. XI). Viewed in the context of human hi story and human attitudes, this is true. However, the actual development of a pro-wilderness viewpoint in America has followed an evolutionary course from the Romantic Movement through Emerson, Thoreau, Muir, and Leopold. The latest, logical manifestation of this evolutionary progress is the philosophy known as deep ecology.
