Nature and Youth Sweden (Swedish: Fältbiologerna, literally "The Field Biologists") is a Swedish organisation for youth interested in nature studies and environmental protection associated with the SNF and SSNC. The organisation has around 3,000 members in the ages 6–25 all over Sweden. Leaders sometimes encourage young members to avoid factory farmed food, and young members have been involved in protests. The organisation has published important texts on topics such as forestry preservation.
Famous quotes containing the words nature and/or youth:
“No legislation can suppress nature; all life rushes to reproduction; our procreative faculties are matured early, while passion is strong, and judgment and self-restraint weak. We cannot alter this, but we can alter what is conventional. We can refuse to brand an act of nature as a crime, and to impute to vice what is due to ignorance.”
—Tennessee Claflin (1846–1923)
“But could youth last, and love still breed,
Had joys no date, nor age no need,
Then these delights my mind might move
To live with thee and be thy Love.”
—Sir Walter Raleigh (1552?–1618)
