Friends of NTS,
In the 11 months since The Bur Oak Manifesto first appeared in print, we have spent prodigious days in the bush – in Iowa, Wisconsin, Manitoba, and Alberta. Walkabouts and saunters have taught us the prodigality of nature and has transformed us into prodigal naturalists. It therefore seemed fitting and right to include a new series of essays in the new and expanded edition of The Manifesto. The Prodigal Naturalist series chronicles our walkabouts and saunters, as well as our attempts to test Emerson and Thoreau in the field. Order your copy and read it under your favorite oak. To order:
