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:
“As Nature is always careless and indifferent
Who sees, who steps, means nothing and this is pretty.”
—Stevie Smith (1902–1971)
“I avoid talking before the youth of the age as I would dancing before them: for if one’s tongue don’t move in the steps of the day, and thinks to please by its old graces, it is only an object of ridicule.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
