Nature-study is not the study of a science, as of botany, entomology, geology, and the like. That is, it takes the things at hand and endeavors to understand them, without reference primarily to the systematic order or like this https://letsgradeit.com/review/paperial/ relationships of objects. It is informal, as are the objects which one sees.Keep a Nature Journal. Everyone should have their own nature journals.
