Cutbacks to Personal Meaning? A Letter from James Raffan to the Task Force on the Operation of Britannia School Farm, Britannia School House and Field Study Centres, Peel County Board of Education, 9 March 1993.
Raffan, James
Pathways: The Ontario Journal of Outdoor Education, v5 n5 p6-9 Aug 1993

Outdoor experiences are also essential for fostering environmental action. (KS)
