Excerpt from Nature in Recreation The purpose of Nature in Recreation is two-fold: first, to inject fun into a recreation program by introducing Nature through the different activities and, second, to indicate some workable approaches and methods that will create an "awareness" of living things in the world about us. There is no intention here to stress microscopic examinations, give names by the score, catalogue species, or attempt scientific classifications. It is hoped that this book will be the means of introducing Nature to hundreds of boys and girls in a friendly, intimate fashion. Since the conservation of natural materials has become so vital a problem in American life, the spirit of "letting live" and learning to know the nature objects in their natural settings is carried throughout the book. The young naturalist will find many suggestions for carrying on his study of living things without possessing them, and the chapters on Handcrafts and Photography will give him information on how to keep data and records without picking specimens for collections. If Nature in Recreation can give a knowledge and enjoyment of living things and the way they live without destroying them, it will have given to youth one of the greatest possible gifts.
