Helping Nature Heal, Spring 1991

“A person turns her back by putting a seedling in the earth with her two hands. A person turns his back by firing prairie grass. You turn your back by rediscovering the plants and migratory birds of your own back yard. We turn our backs by joining in the hard, common, physical labor of shoveling, seeding, heaving, portaging, firing, transplanting, and channeling to restore disturbed and abused land to a semblance of its original, complex, graceful coherence.”
