We were very excitÂed to read CreekÂfindÂing: a True StoÂry because it tells the stoÂry of restorÂing a long-ago creek in an Iowa prairie setÂting. Just imagÂine: bringÂing back the burÂbling waters, the fish, the insects, the grassÂes … everyÂthing that makes up the health and charÂacÂter of the land. It took bullÂdozÂers and deterÂmiÂnaÂtion, partÂners and imagÂiÂnaÂtion, but it was a project that brought ecoÂlogÂiÂcal success!
Our BookÂstorm will take you into furÂther exploÂration, studyÂing ecosysÂtems, water conÂserÂvaÂtion, comÂmuÂniÂty action, fish, and more.
We trust you will find inspiÂraÂtion and resources aplenÂty withÂin the BookÂstorm to accomÂpaÂny your study of CreekÂfindÂing: a True StoÂry.
