NATURE STUDY AND RURAL EDUCATION

American Nature Study Society

Liberty Hyde Bailey founded the American Nature Study Society, America’s oldest environmental organization, in 1908, and served as its first president. The Society’s journal The Nature Study Review, published by the Comstock Publishing Company from 1908 to 1923, included articles by Bailey, Comstock, and others. Over the years it has served the professional needs of educators with workshops, publications, field trips and conferences. Past presidents include such notable naturalists as Anna Botsford Comstock, E. Laurence Palmer, Edwin Way Teale, and Roger Tory Peterson.
