Writing the Land

This anthology is a celebration of the Connecticut River. Each of 10 chapters contains poems, photos, maps, and information about actual conserved lands from official divisions of the Silvio O. Conte National Fish and Wildlife Refuge (Part I), to a variety of non-profit, municipal, and other dedicated River Partners (Part II). They celebrate the beauty and value of the environment, inhabitants, and history of this great watershed. A prologue by Professor Richard Little interprets the unique geology of the valley, while a foreword by David L. Deen of the Connecticut River Conservancy and Trout Unlimited encourages everyone to explore. Commissioned by the US Fish and Wildlife Service, we hope you are inspired to visit the many public lands featured here.
