In her book Rancher, Farmer, Fisherman, Miriam Horn has painted a fascinating and compelling picture of the amazing conservation work that is being done out on the landscape by the landowners and other stewards who are making a living from the land, while working equally hard to preserve it for future generations. This book reflects the ongoing work by the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) to find environmental solutions rooted in our land and carried forward by passionate champions for the conservation of our special landscapes. Although the book is based in the Mississippi River system, Ms. Horn was recently in Chico, California and gave an eloquent presentation on lessons learned and how these approaches can equally apply in the Sacramento Valley.
