Babbit empowers leaders and policy makers to do the right thing, and he shows us how. He explains how grass roots activism can change government thinking, and how we, pushing our local governemnts can exact change that will spiral upward. President Clinton calls Babbit a “major architect…in land use planning…he is building upon a legacy with a visionary program for land use management.”
Back to School
Take a Wetlands Walk meets all of the Pennsylvania standards in Watersheds and Wetlands. It is a beautifully written book, and the photography is phenomenal. In my opinion, it is the best book so far. There is much good science, yet the book still has Jane’s caring voice. I can not say enough about the impact this book will have on the way we teach about wetlands. It should be added to every curriculum.

“Now, as never before, exotic animals and plants are crossing the globe, borne on the swelling tide of human traffic to places where nature never intended them to be.” From review of Out of Eden
Watersheds--WOW!!!
I always like to tell my students that all the water that is on the earth today is all the water that ever was. The juice you will drink at lunchtime may contain water that was drunk by dinosaurs, kings, and even your ancestors. I love to see their faces when they figure out how it gets back into the water cycle. “Eeeww!”

What we do creates change. The Earth has been changing throughout its life. The alterations that we initiate occur in an environment already in a constant state of change. As we learn more about the way the world works, we gain a keener perception of how human caused change fits into the big picture. We also gain an understanding of how we can improve our lives by working with the Earth, rather than working on it.” — Steve Dennis
