A focus of most all Naturalists at Large programming is the interaction of the individual with the group. The needs of both must be met through the development of cooperation, leadership and problem solving skills.
![Page 29: Saguaro Lake: Naturalists at Large](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103014/548a943eb479595d588b457e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The facilitation of activities, with the emphasis on our interaction with the environment and each other, promotes awareness of each individual’s role in making the group experience a positive one.
