The Earth Caretaker Way
by Tim Corcoran and Julie Boettler
The Earth Caretaker Way educates people on what it is to be an Earth Caretaker in our everyday lives. Through stories, nature awareness, wilderness skills, and Earth philosophy it helps to inspire people to start Earth Caretaker groups, and to get involved with a community of people dedicated to keeping our Earth healthy.
A portion of the proceeds from the sales of the book will go to The Earth Caretaker non-profit in support of the education and preservation of our land and waters, and all who live here.
