Ecological Conciousness in Robert Frost's the Pasture, Going for Water and After Apple Picking

The present paper attempts to explore ecological consciousness in Robert Frost’s select poems entitled The Pasture, Going for Water and after Apple Picking. Ecological consciousness encompasses the importance of adopting human behaviours that minimize harm to the environment, promoting environmental stewardship, sustainable living practices, and a sense of responsibility towards preserving and protecting the planet for future generation. Robert Frost’s poetry is enriched with realistic and fantastic depiction of Nature, rural life, farming, ecological consciousness, ecological concerns, and ecological values. The select poems depict routine activities of rural life. Activities such as grazing animals, fetching water from different sources and apple picking have been explicitly portrayed by Robert Frost, suggesting ecological consciousness scattered in his poems. So the attempt has been made to study environmental consciousness in Frost’s select poems.
