Echoes of Cry of the Marsh – Part 1 – Introduction

admin — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 10:17:09 +0000

Echoes of Cry of the Marsh explores the issue of wetland restoration through the eyes of Bob Hartkopf, an ecologist and educator who has worked more than 40 years to revive these environmental assets.

Wetland restoration affects all people living in areas with industrial-scale agriculture, particularly in the upper Midwest and along the Mississippi River.

Hartkopf’s work and stuggle reminds us that we can find a healthy balance for our land, that we can strengthen our ecosystem, and that working for environmental change is possible.
