This is a narrative with roots as deep as the trees the community is trying to save, something set in motion before the author was even born. And yet, Shumaker gives a human face to the changing nature of land conservation in the twenty-first century. The result is a triumph of community that includes working farms, local businesses, summer visitors, year-round residents, and a network of land stewards. A work of creative nonfiction, Saving Arcadia is the adventurous tale of everyday people fighting to reclaim the land that has been in their family for generations. It explores ideas about nature and community, and anyone from scholars of ecology and conservation biology to readers of naturalist writing can gain from Arcadia's story. 610 20 $a Arcadia Dunes. 650 0 $a Sand dunes $z Michigan. 610 20 $a Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy. 650 0 $a Nature conservation $z Great Lakes (North America) $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Wildlife conservation $z Great Lakes (North America) $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Ecosystem management $z Great Lakes (North America) $v Case studies. 941 $a 3 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006104915.0 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20180310024137.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170802024011.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3A7678CA475911E7B35354A3DAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
