This piece was originally published in Perspectives in Bioregional Education, edited by Frank Traina and Susan Darley-Hill, North American Association for Environmental Education, copyright 1995.
In compiling the resources and curricula lists, we have tried to select materials which are philosophically aligned with the bioregional perspective, i.e. local in scope, experiential in nature, and ecologically benign (interactive yet non-invasive or hurtful.) In virtually every source listed, one could find some segment which doesn’t resonate “bioregional.” We have chosen to err on the side of inclusiveness, rather than to completely discard material which may contain some activities we don’t like. Please consider this when utilizing these resources; exercise discretion in your program design.
