Overview: Early in 1971 we were appointed straight from the classroom to initiate the Town and Country Planning Association’s education service and its teachers’ Bulletin o f Environmental Education (BEE). The Association is an allparty, non-sectarian voluntary organisation, founded in 1899, w hich concerns itself with every aspect of tow n and country planning. The recent and welcome upsurge of public interest in the physical environm ent had been reflected in the increasing volume of enquiries and requests for assistance which it received from teachers and students in schools and colleges.
This, and the specific educational recommendations of the Skeffington Com mittee’s report on public participation in planning, led the Association to appoint us, w ith our experience in architecture and planning as well as of teaching, as environmental education officers, with the aid o f grants from the Joseph Rowntree Memorial Trust and the Elm grant Trust. They assumed that most o f our attention w ould be devoted to the urban environment, not because of any wish to perpetuate unreal distinctions between town and country (the environm ent is one) but sim ply because there were many existing services and resources for teachers concerned with the natural environment and the countryside, w hile there was a relative neglect of the town. Beyond this urban emphasis, they paid us the com pliment of leaving us to develop the service as we thought best, and provided the facilities for us to do so. This book is one of the fruits of this experience.
