The aim of this study is to explore the role of reflective practices in ecology fieldwork for supporting learners’ senses of care and compassion with companion species. The study draws on the works of Donna Haraway regarding (human) becoming with companion species. The study is an ethnography based on participant observation during fieldwork in a folk-high-school course in Sweden. The analysis focusses how the adult learners are becoming with companion species and draw on the notion of string figures. The preliminary results show three string figures of how the adult learners are becoming with companion species in the reflective practices: A string figure of contemplation with companion species, A factual string figure of ecology, questions and concerns, and A string figure of dreams about the simple harmonic life. The results indicate that reflective practices in ecology fieldwork might contribute to mitigating (self)destructive relations to the Earth through science education.
