The Natural Environment in Wilderness Programmes: Playing Field or Sacred Space?
Hogan, Robert A.
Journal of Adventure Education and Outdoor Leadership, v9 n1 p25-31 Spr 1992
Considers the wilderness environment as "sacred space," a place pervaded by a sense of power, mystery, and awesomeness that when visited with "full respect and a clean spirit" can lead to positive empowerment. Suggests that a key objective for outdoor programs should be teaching about nature and conservation. Describes positive impacts of conservation projects on juvenile offenders. (KS)
