Natural Resources

This book had a short timeframe and a big ambition – fifty stories of real people. A nonprofit such as the Catskill Center could easily talk abstractly about conservation and development for its 50th anniversary. Instead we turned its subject into living heroes of the Catskills. Split across the environment, economy and culture, the diverse set of characters includes writers, artists, schoolchildren, loggers, farmers and foresters – each in their own way a steward of the region.
