Such education may not only occur in classrooms, museums and education centers of national parks but also directly in the field. Field trips can be beneficial in many ways, stimulating improvement in learning and recall, helping to cultivate interest in natural history. Therefore, it seems relevant to assess the merits of the field setting for learning in the context of school activities and various other types informal education, whether organized or not. The article describes ways to derive educational value from the natural environment. Criteria, as applied to such assessment were reviewed with discussion of the methodological difficulties faced in the study of the intrinsic educational potential of the natural environment."]
