Listen to the Land: Conservation Conversations - Softcover
Inspired by years of talking with farmers, foragers, loggers, tribal activists, seed savers, fishers, railroaders, and nature lovers of all stripes, Dennis Boyer has created in Listen to the Land a fascinating communal conversation that invites readers to ponder their own roles in grassroots environmentalism. The nearly fifty voices that Boyer recreates here cross genders, generations, and geography. They include an Ojibwe leader contemplating nuclear waste, a houseboat dweller, a woman sharing her skills in gathering edible plants, a caboose-tender, a Milwaukeean fighting urban blight—even a recluse who shoots out streetlights.
Each of the extraordinarily varied perspectives that Boyer recreates here considers the question, How do I interact with the Earth? Each has something important to say that expands our understanding of conservation and environmentalism. Listen to the Land encourages you to read a conversation or two and then go outside and start one of your own.

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.:
“If we’re ever going to be nicer to the Earth it would be a good idea to be nicer to each other. . . . The Earth is already whole, work on wholeness for the human critters. Clean up after yourself, look both ways before you cross the street, and don’t take any wooden nickels.”—advice from a post-Nader ecologist, excerpt from Listen to the Land
