In the 2nd edition of his book, David Sobel looks deeply at place-based environmental education, citing research and anecdotes. He shows the importance of tying together the community and environment with the school setting as a way of enhancing student learning.
Really any title from David Sobel is great reading for anyone interested in early childhood environmental education (he has inspired so many educators over the years), but I like this one because I think it's really at the heart of what environmental educators working with people of any age are trying to do: connect people to the places where they live so they can enjoy and protect them for a lifetime.
