Abstract
It may seem strange to celebrate the Coalition for Education in the Outdoors 25* anniversary by publishing an issue of Taproot dedicated to the subject of urban expansion and brownfields. However, in 1987, the Coalition founders (see 25* anniversary, pages 2-3) recognized that the future need and demand for implementing the benefits of outdoor education would increasingly come from urbanized locales. They, thus, focused the Coalition's mission toward promoting high quality research and encouraging collaboration amongst the best outdoor education scholars to address the needs of a nation becoming less and less rural. Indeed, a nation where many communities would have to find ways to bring nature back into their neighborhoods so people could enjoy and learn from the natural world.
