The Practice of Natural History

2/12/2021

 
​The Natural History of a Silent Forest - Click Here

​Natural history is a “practice of intentional, focused attentiveness and receptivity to the more-than-human world, guided by honesty and accuracy” (Fleischner 2002). Some interpret this as an ability to identify to species every wildflower in a field or to keep a lifetime phenological field journal or to recall life history facts about mammals.
I understand it best as a commitment to observing a single place across seasons and years.
