Perhaps this is what Thoreau had in mind when he said, “the more slowly trees grow at first, the sounder they are at the core, and I think the same is true of human beings.”                                    -David Sobel, Beyond Ecophobia   Books (aff links): A Forest Days Handbook by Eliza Minnucci https://amzn.to/2PmDyAl Nature Preschools and Forest Kindergartens: The Handbook for Outdoor Livingby David Sobel https://amzn.to/2XpDP8o   Loose Parts Play Facebook Page   Loose Parts Play Facebook Group   Inside O
