520 # # |a Across America and around the world, people are 
520 # # |a working to help nature heal itself. In Bermuda, a man 
520 # # |a single-handedly grows thousands of trees on a small 
520 # # |a island to restore nesting habitat for a rare seabird. In 
520 # # |a Illinois, legions of volunteers replant prairies in the 
520 # # |a shadows of freeways. In Virginia, a farmer works to 
520 # # |a bring back the mighty American chestnut. 
520 # # |a What drives these individuals? How did their passions 
520 # # |a come about, and what are the implications for 
520 # # |a restoring the environment? Nature’s Restoration: People and Places on the 
520 # # |a Front Lines of Conservation is a lyrical look at these and other examples 
520 # # |a of ordinary citizens aiming to return sizable tracts of the American 
520 # # |a landscape to nature, and to health. They’ve found success in preserving 
520 # # |a rare species, reversing negative ecological trends, and promoting 
520 # # |a greater intimacy with nature. 
520 # # |a Yet the work is far from simple. Restoration projects are often in the 
520 # # |a news not only because of the promise they hold, but also because of 
520 # # |a the controversy they provoke. Based on detailed reporting and numerous 
520 # # |a interviews, Nature’s Restoration puts us on the front lines of 
520 # # |a restoration to learn how this burgeoning national movement shapes 
520 # # |a both places and people.
