Notes

^1. See Gurholt’s paper within this special issue for a full discussion of this term.

^2. We use the term OEfS to structure and order our discussion. See Higgins (1996) for a fuller discussion of the phrase, which stems from his examination of the concepts of connection and consequence in ‘education for sustainability’ in the outdoors.

^3. The National Association of Outdoor Education define outdoor education as, ‘a means of approaching educational objectives through guided, direct experience of the outdoors, using as learning material the resources of rural and coastal environments’ (see Nicol, 2002, p. 86).
