5.0 out of 5 stars a story of how one man can make a difference, November 17, 1997
By Tom Dobrez (homewood, il United States) - See all my reviews
reads like a novel and yet informs the reader in the complexities of the northern Illinois ecosystem.A real major accomplishment. Inspiring enough to make you want to never mow your lawn again. A great intro to nature reading for the serious minded.
