The Tourist Test

 
 

Do you have Nature-Deficit Disorder?

 
 

Author Richard Louv, in his book Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder coined the term "nature-deficit disorder” to describe children's focus today on artificial entertainment rather than the natural world. 

While kids or adults don’t need to be professional naturalists to bring balance into their lives through time spent in nature, the following Tourist Test illustrates the kinds of things most people end up knowing as a result of spending consistent, mindful time outdoors.

The Tourist Test is a quick 2 minute quiz to test your knowledge of the land around you.

If you find you have "Tourist-itis," which is actually a condition spreading throughout our culture, we have a remedy for you.

Don't worry, tourist-itis is common these days and is easily treatable.
