The increasing popularity of outdoor activities, especially hiking, indicates that people are looking for new ways to interact with the natural environment. Hiking could play a role in environmental education by exposing people to cases of environmental deterioration and so raise an awareness of environmental problems. The contribution of hiking in developing a basic understanding of the environment and its problems could result in feelings of concern that lead to active involvement in resolving environmental issues. A qualitative investigation was carried out which involved the completion of three 5 day trails by the same five subjects. Each hiker was required to make daily notes on each hike, which were subsequently analysed. The purpose of the investigation was to ascertain what people notice in the environment during hikes and whether this could influence environmental education. Four themes were identified on analysis of the daily responses, namely the natural and physical environment, trail aspects, each hiker's physical and psychological preparedness and cognitive development and social aspects ranging from group interaction to human impact on the environment. Each of these themes is described and supplemented with appropriate quotations from the daily responses. |
