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.

“Such is the nature and make-up of the French that they are only good at the start. Then they are worse than devils, but, given time, they’re less than women.”
—François Rabelais (1494–1553)
“Away profane philosopher! seekest thou in nature the cause? This refers to that, and that to the next, and the next to the third, and everything refers. Thou must ask in another mood, thou must feel it and love it, thou must behold it in a spirit as grand as that by which it exists, ere thou canst know the law. Known it will not be, but gladly beloved and enjoyed.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Whenever a youth is ascertained to possess talents meriting an education which his parents cannot afford, he should be carried forward at the public expense.”
—James Madison (1751–1836)
