Wallace Stegner, an American author, shared this thought in his book ""The Sound of Mountain Water."" Imagine a world without forests, mountains, or wild animals. Wallace Stegner believed that we needed these wild places, even if we just looked at them from afar. They make us feel happy and connected to nature. It's important to protect these beautiful places so kids like you and future generations can enjoy them too. 🌿 Our planet deserves to be wild and wonderful, so let's take care of it!

Now available, The Heart of the Wild brings together some of today’s leading scientists, humanists, and #nature writers to offer timely and provocative reflections on the future of the wild in an increasingly human world. These engaging essays present nuanced and often surprising perspectives on the meaning and value of “wildness” amid the realities of the Anthropocene. They consider the trends and forces—from the cultural and conceptual to the ecological and technological—that are transforming our relationship with the natural world and sometimes seem only to be pulling us farther away from wild places and species with each passing day. The contributors make impassioned defenses of naturalism, natural history, and nature education in helping us to rediscover a love for the wild at a time when our connections with it have frayed or been lost altogether. Charting a new path forward in an era of ecological uncertainty, The Heart of the Wild reframes our understanding of nature and our responsibility to learn from and sustain it as the human footprint sinks ever deeper into the landscapes around us. With contributions by Bill Adams, Joel Berger, Susan Clayton, Eileen Crist, Martha L. Crump, Thomas Lowe Fleischner, Harry W. Greene, Hal Herzog, Jonathan B. Losos, Emma Marris, Ben A. Minteer, Kathleen Dean Moore, Gary Paul Nabhan, Peter H. Raven, Christopher J. Schell, Richard Shine, and Kyle Whyte. Order your copy: https://hubs.ly/Q02KpM990

Join us in 2024 for a literary journey. 📚 We at NALT love sharing what we are reading and encourage you to join us! Each month we will share a staff pick or favorite for the month and hope that you read along with us or save it to your TBR list. At the end of the month, review it with us, share your thoughts, and for select months, join us live while we discuss the highlights and the lowlights. DECEMBER - Sara's Pick: "The End of Night: Searching for Natural Darkness in an Age of Artificial Light" by Paul Bogard. This natural history non-fiction explores the night sky, the human experience of darkness, and how we can reduce light pollution in modern society. Sara Johnson is recommending this book because she "believes that light pollution, if given the proper attention, is the most straightforward and simplest conservation challenges to fix. The solution is as simple as flipping a switch. This book contradicts commonplace ideas and myths about artificial lighting and how we can find a balance between the need for light, and our need for darkness. Further, it explores the impact on the natural world and the rapid change it is causing in our wildlife communities." For more information about Dark Sky advocacy, visit DarkSky International.

My old friend, John Perlin, is much too modest (below) about the well-deserved, superlative review of A Forest Journey in the current issue of Time. The review's author, the esteemed Eugene Linden, explains why he believes the book should be among the handful of foundational texts of modern environmentalism. I hope the review is widely read, and that A Forest Journey becomes a best seller! https://lnkd.in/gkp28FEg

It makes me so happy to see CANREADS reviewers and authors connecting over our service! Head to www.canreads.ca to check out our latest review for Dana's new book The Honey Trap: How the Good Intentions of Urban Beekeepers Risk Ecological Disaster. 🐝 📚 #canreads #bookreviews #canadianbookreviews
No matter how much you believe in your book and how much sweat and tears you put into writing it, you never know how it will be received. So, I was thrilled to see this CANREADS review for my latest book, The Honey Trap: How the Good Intentions of Urban Beekeepers Risk Ecological Disaster. "Church masterfully debunks the myths surrounding urban beekeeping...For those passionate about protecting all pollinators, this is the guide you've been waiting for...It’s an essential reading for urban planners, environmentalists, and anyone interested in the truth about bees." Wow. The icing on the cake was the reviewer reached out to me personally to say how impressed they were and how much they enjoyed reading my book. I wrote this book for the bees. All bees. We must rethink our relationship with them and change how we treat them (and "help" them). I hope that the messages in The Honey Trap are spread far and wide, and that people truly take action. Thank you, CANREADS. 🥹🐝💛🖤 Sutherland House Books The Rights Factory https://lnkd.in/eb7swnBB #bees #beekeeping #biodiversity #sciencecommunication #books #nonfiction

Watershed engineers. What happens when we create the conditions conducive for life we have so often removed those conditions or made it very difficult for life to cycle naturally or how it has for millennium. Through our and extraction, we have created a degenerative system. It's only when we stop that cycle and start working towards cyclical opportunities where we increase the cycling of natural processes that will begin to restore and work towards generative and regenerative process. ReGeneration is about natural life, cycles, and energy transfer. How does that energy transfer grow in a way that benefits life and all. It seems that almost every sector is using the word regeneration or regenerative, and the only guidepost is if one aspect of that products or service has a regenerative aspect. Life in itself is regenerative if we choose it to be. Beavers are watershed engineers, and are key players in the restoration of our ecosystems #Beavers #WatershedRestoration #Regeneration

There is a stone in stone bridges - called a keystone - which if we removed, causes the whole bridge to collapse. Keystone species are species which when removed from ecosystems cause things to fall apart. Sea otters are a keystone species. When they leave an area, kelp forests get decimated. That’s because the sea otters are no longer keeping in check the population of sea urchins, which will multiply to eat the whole kelp forest. Restoration of the kelp forest can transpire by bringing back sea otters. Beavers are a keystone species that have played an outsize role in the development of the landscapes and ecosystems of North America and Europe. The removal of them from our continents led to the Great Drying ( a term coined by the geomorphologist and beaver researcher Ellen Wohl) that extended from 1600 to 1900. When I connected with Leila Philip, author of Beaverland - How one weird rodent made America, she bubbled with enthusiasm talking about the importance of beavers to our ecosystems. She writes in her book “When the glaciers of the last ice age melted.. the modern ancestors of today’s beavers wet at it, felling trees and building dams throughout Asia, Europe, and the Americas. In North America, beaver dams, ponds, and waterworks established hydraulic systems that created much of the rich biodiversity of the continent. That was the primordial Beaverland - North America before European colonizatio, when as many as four hundred million beavers filled the continent….. The great boreal forests that sprang up, threaded with beaver made waterways, would have looked something like what I see now- half water-world- streams spreading out through the forest as great fans of water, overspilling banks, then receding in rhythm with the seasons. Unlike the streams and rivers we know today, mostly degraded so that their currents carve channels through the earth, picking up speed and causing more erosion as they cut deeper into the groun, these messy, slower-moving streams and rivers from the time of Beaverland contracted and expanded like tides, they were arteries and veins of water pulsing life into the land” The importance of bringing back keystone species has been increasingly utilized by the ecorestoration and rewilding movements. In our time of multiple water crises, we would do well to integrate beavers into our water strategy for North America and Europe. The beavers help rehydrate the land, and they help mitigate floods. In the Chesapeake Bay beavers build, for free, stormwater management ponds that that would otherwise cost one to two million dollars, ponds that help extract the pollutants out of the water. Beavers also help stop wildfire. Researchers have shown the land is much less affected by wildfires where beavers make dams compared to beaverless areas.

🌍 Give Peat A Chance: A Book of Bogs 🌱 I’ve just supported the crowdfunder for Give Peat A Chance, an anthology celebrating the vital and often overlooked landscapes of moors and bogs (see link at the bottom to make your own contribution - get or give a signed copy). Featuring contributions from incredible writers like Amy Liptrot, Horatio Clare, and Nicola Chester, this book combines ecology, mythology, poetry, and personal stories to deepen our connection to these essential ecosystems. Peatlands store more carbon than the forests of the UK, France, and Germany combined, yet 80% have been degraded. With Walshaw Moor—home to rich biodiversity and cultural heritage—at the centre of debates about renewable energy, this anthology couldn’t come at a better time. Let’s champion these landscapes and raise awareness of their ecological importance. The project is 72% funded with two weeks left to reach its goal. If you’re passionate about conservation, biodiversity, or just love a good book, please consider supporting! 📖 Learn more and contribute here: https://lnkd.in/eSgUJa9i #Conservation #Biodiversity #Peatlands #GivePeatAChance #ClimateAction #NatureWriting
