Implicit in many programs featuring a human-natural environment interaction has been the belief that group development is a desirable outcome. This study investigated the effectiveness of one natural environment-based program in facilitating the development of groups. In addition, the variables of gender, age, identification with the group, course type, and course length were also studied for their influence on group development. The results suggest that this particular type of program could be effective in enhancing group development. In addition, the variables of sex, type of course, and group identification had varying levels of impact on the development of individual groups.
