How to Raise a Wild Child: The Art and Science of Falling in Love with Nature, by Scott D. Sampson

Taproot In & Outside The Classroom, Coalition For Education In The Outdoors

Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education

As demonstrated in this issue of Taproot, human well-being is inextricably intertwined with the insect and arachnid (mites, scorpions, spiders and ticks) life of this planet. Perhaps environmental and outdoor educators too often focus lessons on (difficult to actually see in the wild) mega fauna while insect and arachnid creatures can be easily caught and observed (proper precautions taken of course).

We therefore offer the following (Insect Collecting 101) introduction courtesy of the University of Florida Department of Entomology. It can be accessed at: http://entnemdept.ufl.edu/bug_club/ent-events/collecting101.shtml#where

American Therapeutic Recreation Conference

National Association for Interpretation Conference

From The Editor, Charles Yaple

Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education

There was a time not long ago when children living in rural areas of the Northeast or upper Midwest could roam freely and not be concerned with bodily harm. Stay-at-home moms chased children outdoors telling them to “go play,” and choices were often left to the imagination of the child. Knowing to avoid poison ivy or oak, children could pick a spot most anywhere to lie in the grass or forest floor. Wading or swimming in the nearest creek or pond with buddies was pursued without second thought. Those days appear to be gone.

What Every Primary Care Clinician Should Know About The Diagnosis Of Lyme Disease, Elizabeth Maloney

Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education

A great deal of misunderstanding, even in the medical profession, exists concerning Lyme disease. Dr. Maloney’s article provides an in-depth discussion of the illness. It was written with physicians in mind but is not so heavily laden with medical terminology that the layperson will fail to understand its contents.

Lyme Testimonials, Taproot Editors

Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education

Most people (estimates suggest about 80%) who become infected with Lyme disease recover after a month or two of antibiotic treatment. However, there are many individuals who suffer long bouts of chronic Lyme disease. One only has to google “Lyme testimonials”…to find hundreds of stories, written and video format, regarding the devastating effects of Lyme disease. Some share how victims continue to suffer and others describe how certain treatments either improved or restored their health. It is important to note that a person is never totally cured, as victims of Lyme disease are always subject to relapse.

Understanding Commonalities, Albert Schweitzer, And Aldo Leopold, Minnie Lauzon

Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education

The 50th anniversary of the Wilderness Act has fostered nostalgia and reflection among environmentalists. Signed into legislation by Lyndon B. Johnson on September 3, 1964, the Wilderness Act presented a duality of purpose—to maintain a level of defense to 9 million acres of wild land while also creating an “enduring resource of wilderness.” This 50th anniversary necessitates another observance—the presentation of Albert Schweitzer’s Reverence for Life philosophy in his 1923 book titled The Philosophy of Civilization. Even a brief reading of Schweitzer’s seminal works will prove to be reminiscent of Aldo Leopold, who is often seen as the godfather of …
