Saving Tarboo Creek : one family's quest to heal… av Scott Freeman
It’s about the restoration of wetlands, including the process of re-meandering a salmon spawn creek. Isn’t that a lovely concept? Beavers moving in complicated the process of re-forestation, but they were accommodated and of course made the ecology that much richer.

2wonderY | 14 andra recensioner | Dec 20, 2018 | Author Freeman not only provides the steps they took in the restoration of the Tarboo Creek habitat, he delves into the environmental, community and political cause and effect. The lovely black and white drawings throughout the book support the text. Extensive references cover difference aspects of the restoration. He provides an index. One shortcoming is the lack of footnotes for statistics used.

bemislibrary | 14 andra recensioner | Jul 29, 2018 | “Planting a tree is a way to apply hope. In restoration is the preservation of the world.”
“An ecosystem is a tapestry; climate change pulls at the threads.”
“In just the past thousand years, our increased population and ability to alter habitats around the globe has hit the earth like an asteroid.”
Tarboo Creek, in Washington’s Olympic Peninsula, was once a thriving salmon run but over time, due to erosion, development and neglect, it became a damaged trickle. The Freeman family, authors of this book, decided to purchase a large plot of land that the Tarboo traversed and then to restore this creek to it's former glory, making it habitable for the spawning salmon. It was a huge under-taking but one filled with many rewards, for all involved.
The author packs a lot into these 200 pages and your level of interest in nature, biology and ecology, will determine what you will take out of this. It gets very detailed, (my eyes came close to glossing over a time or two) but I learned a whole lot about trees and tree restoration, the hardy lives of salmon and the impact of deforestation and climate change on our planet. I feel it is a timely and important read.… (mer)

msf59 | 14 andra recensioner | Mar 13, 2018 | A preachy book about families quest to restore a section of a creek to provide a salmon habitat. Their actions and deeds are honorable and I totally support the intent of what he and his family are doing and trying to inspire others to do. However, I sense an air of superiority over us (people without the will or means to do this) What really turned me off was the final chapter when he makes sweeping historical generalizations about the "Greatest Generation" and the "Baby Boomers" (I teach history at a junior college) and numerous other topics. He should stick to Ecology. The illustrations are generally worthless.… (mer)
