Nature detectives best confined to classroom

I WANT to congratulate you on making available to your readers a free copy of ‘Nature Detective’ by Dick Warner (September 10).

It’s an excellent production, simple in language, very broadly based and should be in the hands of all our senior national school students with a hardback cover to give it importance. And the illustrations are brilliant.

Having said all that I would not be in favour of nature walks outside the school grounds as there is grave danger of injury to pupils with the increased volumes of traffic on our roads.
