		<description><![CDATA[Don&#8217;t let the title of this great, underread essay by Thoreau deceive you. It is about walking, yes, but walking as a way of being in the world. Within the beautiful, meandering 19th-century language is a breathtakingly radical vision. I wish to speak a word for Nature, for absolute freedom and wildness, as contrasted with [...]]]></description>

Don&#8217;t keep them to yourself and your Facebook or Flickr friends. Join Project Noah and share them with the world or use them to help build the Encyclopedia of Life. It&#8217;s fun, but [...]]]></description>

In seeking the answer, I look back to my own upbringing in the 1960s shortly before the first Earth Day.

		<description><![CDATA[If you come across something with this question in the title, it&#8217;s probably put out by anti-environmentalists and the answer is yes. Either yes, environmentalism is a false religion threatening the &#8220;true&#8221; religion, whatever that may be, or yes, it is &#8220;just&#8221; a religion, unfounded in science or fact. The last assertion &#8212; that environmentalism [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I often think we undervalue the nature spots that are not wildernesses &#8212; the ones in and near cities and towns. Not only do these underappreciated places provide precious habitat for wildlife within the built environment, they also give humans respite from the hustle-bustle of modern life. Jamaica Bay in New York City is one [...]]]></description>

In the area where I grew up (Essex County, New Jersey), the community recently responded with deer hunts. The alternative &#8212; giving the deer contraception &#8212; was rejected due to cost. I was horrified. Not so long [...]]]></description>

This nature map has received some 300 odd contributions and is still going strong today. It includes recommendations of many amazing places I&#8217;d never even heard of.
