Abstract
ABSTRACT This study combined ecological, environmental, nature-based, and epistemic interpretations of older adulthood to gain a previously unresearched look at how older adults feel that their relations with nature are treated by others. Sixty older adults were interviewed in-depth, and data was analyzed using the Eco-Appreciation framework and Thematic Content Analysis. The results indicate the concurrence of processes of withdrawal of older adults from spaces of nature and discourse about nature. These processes obstruct older adults’ wellbeing; entail the infliction of existential epistemic injustices and “eco-ageism” toward them; and emphasize the crucial role social work can play in responding thereto.
