Review # 1 was written on 2019-10-25 00:00:00 Michael Feist So enjoyable to learn along with the author and learn from her. I skimmed the second half’s how-to, but avidly read the first half of the book. I was amused by the designation of her walking group, the ALFASAC, for Audubon Ladies Fresh Air and Standing Around Club.

Review # 2 was written on 2007-09-20 00:00:00 Chrystal Thurman Given how much I liked Noah's Garden: Restoring the Ecology of Our Own Backyards I wondered why this sequel to it was out of print. I think that I figured it out. In this book Stein goes more in depth about her subsequent adventures as a naturalist and native habitat restorer and then gives us the real nuts and bolts of how to pull off habitat restoration for ourselves. Bottom line is: there are no easy answers. Every turn is fraught with technicalities, ambiguities, and unsettled questions. Stein's book is excellent on bring up the tough issues, and giving gory how-to details. Just be warned: this book is strictly for the initiated. It will scare the newbie off.
