Re: [ECOLOG-L] Any recommendations: Ecology/Wildlife Magazines for teens

[Neal Bryan]

I've seen several votes for NG Kids here, but I've got to say I'm  
disappointed.  My wife's family sent a gift subscription and I'll not  
renew it.  The kids (ages 5 and 7) like it, but it's a lot of bubble  
gum and fluff.  There's not much in the way of real ecology/sociology/ 
geography/photography/anything that NG does so well (I am a NG member).
I haven't seen Ranger Rick or Zoobooks for a while, so they may have  
degenerated as to not leave any children behind, but ten years ago  
they were good.

Can anyone recommend a ecology/wildlife magazine that targets young
readers who are really interested in things such as animal tracks,  
good
types of bird feeders, learning about bird migrations etc etc  
etc.  Back
in Canada when I was growing up we had WHO magazine but I am now  
looking
for the best subscription out there that's fun to read and that
satisfies a young mind curious about the natural world.  Thanks
