Abstract
In this paper the author revisits the aims of her Masters dissertation in which she examined the ways children interpret and engage with nature and considered how closely the adult and the child constructions fit with each other, particularly in relation to programmes of environmental education. Here she returns to her findings to consider whether or not the heightened sense of environmental awareness in the public domain of today connects with children's perceptions of nature that emerged from her research.
