Whole Earth Review, Spring 1990

“This issue is devoted to environmental restoration. Consider it an invitation to get your hands dirty. Old houses can be restored, but so can streams, marshes, and forests. Here are people working with nature, explaining how they do it and why. As an activity that invites your participation, environmental restoration is a way of focusing on the particular instead of the planet.”
