也可以考虑用“自然风情讲座”。

我加了“风情”二字,可能有蛇足之嫌。我是觉得“自然讲座”好象有点学术味道,与小旅店亲切闲适的气氛不太合拍。猜想这样的小旅店办讲座,谈当地的动植物,少不了涉及人与自然的互动,总会有种特殊的情致。譬如说到了北大荒,一定会听到“棒打狍子瓢舀鱼,野鸡飞到饭锅里”的说法,说的是野生动物,同时也是一种地方风情。

当然,这里的“风情”不是“风情万种”和“男女风情”的哪个“风情”。:)))

nature/nature study/nature talks - this kind of idea probably arose in the West in the 19th century with the public talks be amateur scientists and collectors. At primary school in the 1960s we used to do nature study. (大自然学,自然界学?) - children probably still do. It is \'scientific\' in orientation.

See also: naturalist = a person who studies plants, birds or animals 博物学家 (朗文进阶词典)

Unlike Chinese, say, \"甘肃的珍禽异兽\", European-style \'nature talks\' in my experience do not generally involve 风情/风土人情. => (some tourism concepts may be different ...?)

IMO nature = natural history

natural history = the study of the animal, vegetable and mineral world, especially in a popular way (Collins Concise English Dictionary)

natural history = the study of plants, animals and rocks 博物学 (朗文进阶词典)
