I’ve been a fan of Barry Lopez since I was introduced, starry eyed, to his writing at fourteen by a glamorous senior staff member at Outdoor School. I bumped into this excellent article Lopez wrote about the idea of the modern naturalist (click here for article). Is the modern age creating a different kind of naturalist–one that is more familiar with computer models than living close to the land? How does the naturalist’s point of view influence the way we care for nature?
