"Gene Stratton-Porter was a farm girl who fell in love with birds, from the chickens whose eggs she collected to the hawks that preyed on them. When she grew up, Gene wanted nothing more than to share her love of birds with the world. She wrote stories about birds, but when a magazine wanted to publish them next to awkward photos of stuffed birds, she knew she had to take matters into her own hands. Teaching herself photography, Gene began to take photos of birds in the wild. Her knowledge of birds and how to approach them allowed her to get so close you could count the feathers of the birds in her photos. Her work was unlike anything Americans had ever seen before-she captured the true lives of animals in their natural habitat. A pioneering wildlife photographer and one of the most popular authors of the early 20th century, this bird girl showed the world the beauty of nature and why it was worth preserving"--

One day, Hunter the hedgehog decided to go for a walk, but as she skipped along enjoying the sunshine, she was alarmed to hear a call for help. It came from beneath a heap of leaves. Hunter rushed to the rescue and discovered a prickly branch called Twig, firmly stuck. Hunter freed him and asked what had happened. When Twig told his story, Hunter was horrified. She knew she had to act! The Mystery of the Giant Claw is an illustrated children's adventure by Katie Parsons and the HedgeHunters. It grew from a project to explore the importance of hedgerows. Researcher Katie and her team were joined by a group of young environmental activists, the HedgeHunters. They worked with the owners of Little Wood Farm in the East Riding of Yorkshire to carry out experiments and surveys, looking at ways to maintain and improve the diverse environment of the area's hedgerows.

Long before she became known as the Cactus Queen, Minerva Hamilton Hoyt found solace in the unexpected beauty of the Mojave Desert in California. She loved the jackrabbits and coyotes, the prickly cacti, and especially the weird, spiky Joshua trees. However, in the 1920s, hardly anyone else felt the same way. The desert was being thoughtlessly destroyed by anyone and everyone. Minerva knew she needed to bring attention to the problem. With the help of her gardening club, taxidermists, and friends, she took the desert east and put its plants and animals on display. The displays were a hit, but Minerva needed to do much more: she wanted to have the desert recognized as a national park. Although she met with President Franklin D. Roosevelt and won him over, Minerva still had to persuade politicians, scientists, teachers, and others to support her cause. And, it worked! Minerva's efforts led to what came to be known as Joshua Tree National Park in California, and saved hundreds of thousands of plants and animals. Now, the millions of people who visit each year have learned to love the desert, just as Minerva did.
