The John Burroughs Association is dedicated to promoting the spirit and teaching of John Burroughs (1837-1921), of some of his most appropriate nature essays for children, and several anthologies that were published and used during his lifetime as readers in schools across America. In 1988, the Association inaugurated an annual list for young readers that honors Burroughs’ efforts to instill in young people a love for nature and their curiosity about the environment. Since the list began, the Association has selected more than 150 books nominated by publishers of individually recognized authors and co-authors, author-illustrators, author-photographers, illustrators, and photographers.
