Review
2011 - declared the Year of the Forest by the UN General Assembly - Zavitz is considered to be Ontario's Father of Reforestation
reveals stories behind the revitalization projects such as turning the Niagara Escarpment from a wasteland into an environmental treasure - UNESCO World Biosphere site.
Brand new information; extensive resource appeal for libraries, environment/forestry groups and related organizations on both sides of the border.
"Lest we think modern generations are the first to care about sustainability of natural resources, St. Catharines conservationist John Bacher sets the record straight."
"It's hard to believe as one drives through the lush Ontario landscape that it was not always this way. That's why the photos in John Bacher's Two Billion Trees and Counting: The Legacy of Edmund Zavitz (Dundurn, 2011) come as such a shock to the reader."
"Informative on several levels, the book serves as both the warning and the voice of hope."
a fascinating presentation.
well-researched accounting of Zavitz's work in a chronology that is easy to follow. I strongly suggest that his story should be written into the grade school history books in this province.
