In the Spirit of Wetlands: Reviving Habitat in the Illinois River Watershed

"Citizen environmentalists will be encouraged by the variety of approaches used to accomplish ecological and developmental goals far beyond this north-central Illinois watershed." --Library Journal "This finely crafted paperback edition is perfect for contemplative evenings and mornings on the porch. Perfect for those times when we need a little inspiration and feel connected and part of something bigger in our natural world. For those of us already involved with wetland conservation and restoration, it can be a much- needed pick- me- up when it seems like nothing is going right and the fight gets a little too burdensome. In this book, you will find the inspiration to keep going, fighting, and surviving." --Outdoor Illinois "Turning the tide against environmental catastrophe has to be a team effort, and not everyone has the time and resources to attempt projects of the scale described in the book. But we all can do something, and I hope this book will provide inspiration for all who follow." -- Community Word “The stories illustrated in this great work are inspiring profiles of pioneers who are taking up the cause of wetland restoration. These guardians are immersed in a cause that affects every living thing in one way or another and should compel all readers to action.”--Doug Schoenrock, President, Ducks Unlimited
