This is great. Particularly appreciate the "forest kindergarten". As I grew up, I felt so much of my schooling missed out on applying the knowledge we learned in the class room, and of course, the scope of what we learned in class felt at times arbitrary and irrelevant.
My parents would takeus camping from a very young age every summer. We learned how to fish, set up tents, and all the tools associated with those tasks. We learned to respect the meat we'd catch, not be afraid of the water, be innovative with the tools around us when we forgot something, and of course -- be adventurous.
I'm a large fan of the urban environment and I think raising children in cities has clear social benefits. We must also respect, and embrace the nature in and around our cities to foster that other side of the spectrum.
