Biocitizen LA offers Field Environmental Philosophy (FEP) programs for students 5-16 in outdoor classrooms throughout the Los Angeles area and beyond.
The essential activities of FEP are engaging with and reading our environment. This environmental engagement increases our students’ perceptual abilities, stimulates their critical inquiry, and inspires creative imagination. Walking in the wild directly counteracts the effects of “nature deficit disorder” and brings students to their cognitive, intellectual, and physical edges. It is there—on those edges— where growth can be found.
