This is fantastic advice. Even as a outdoor science educator I've tried to limit the ways I let my students explore. "Don't pick the leaves." " Don't pick up sticks or rocks." "Stay on the trail." There is way more interesting stuff off of the trail--as Tyson said about the binoculars--both literally and figuratively.
