I highly recommend two recent books focused on our relationship with the natural world:
becoming—Feral, words and images exploring beasts and EcoArt in Action, a compilation of solutions to environmental challenges. I'm honored my work is included in both publications.

becoming—Feral, a collection of entries from over 80 international contributors, curates a prismatic and multifaceted perspective on our understandings of animals and their ‘wildness.

My contribution, two images of Clay Pigeon Passenger Pigeons, pays homage to the passenger pigeon and its demise largely due to overhunting. The work was created from salvaged clay pigeon shards.

Ecoart in Action: Activities, Case Studies, and Provocations for Classrooms and Communities

Compiled from a group of more than 200 internationally established practitioners, Ecoart in Action offers a field guide with practical solutions to critical environmental challenges. Organized into three sections―Activities, Case Studies, and Provocations―each contribution provides models for ecoart practice that are adaptable for use within a variety of classrooms, communities, and contexts.

In "Drawing From Nature," I suggest students stand in the middle of what they want to paint or draw and become aware of the complexity of place.
