Written by and about New Englanders, this book is relevant to
others attempting to address conservation problems on a regional
basis. These are the stories of people acting the New England
way--recognizing a need, taking on a responsibility without being
asked, and applying the Yankee attitude in order to bring about
tangible conservation gains. But above all, the account is one of
hope for the future for, as the authors document, conditions at the
turn of the 20th century were of a nature we would not tolerate
today: cut and burned-over forests, eroded topsoil, depleted
farmlands, streams choked with refuse and pollution, and species at
the very brink of extinction. The stories told here are of people
using what they had, setting to work to remedy these conditions,
and doing so successfully. At a time of growing concern for the
environment both locally and globally, theirs is a story certain to
inform and inspire the next generation of conservation leaders.
