“…Ayrıca sıkıntılı durumlarla başa çıkma konusunda çocukları daha başarılı kılmaktadır (Corraliza, Collado ve Bethelmy, 2012). Çocuklar okul dışında doğa ve çevre eğitimlerine katıldıklarında, doğa ile doğrudan iletişime geçtiklerinden (Palmerg ve Kuru, 2000), ekolojik algıları gelişmekte, doğaya karşı duygusal yakınlıklarıyla birlikte (Collodo, Staats ve Corraliza, 2013) çevreye yönelik sorumlu davranışları da artmaktadır (Erdoğan, 2011).
