Book
Restoring prairie, woods, and pond : how a small trail can make a big difference / Laurie Lawlor.
Restoring Prarie, Woods, and Pond is about activism at the community level--and tells how a small town with few resources came together to transform a city-owned dumping ground into a nature trail. Local nature lovers were delighted when they discovered that an unused area between an elementary school and public library held three distinct ecosystems. Filled with beautiful photos, this inspiring book tells how volunteers rallied a community and created a trail that became a valuable outdoor classroom during COVID-19, a STEM teaching center, a respite for people young and old, and place for community engagement. -- Provided by publisher.
