Many of the men and women doing today's most consequential environmental work”restoring America™s grasslands, wildlife, soil, rivers, wetlands, and oceans”would not call themselves environmentalists; they would be too uneasy with the connotations of that word.

They feel a moral responsibility to preserve this heritage and natural wealth, to ensure that their families and communities will continue to thrive.
