After reading about ways to attract wildlife to the garden earlier in the week, I was ready to dive into a book about an actual conservation project - Nature's Second Chance by Steven Apfelbaum. In this book, Apfelbaum chronicles his thirty years working to restore the pre-farming ecosystem at Stone Prairie Farm in Wisconsin. As the introduction points out, this isn't a book about homesteading but does include a lot of the same elements. In particular, the author learns about the wood on his property used for the construction of his house and lives a very green, self-sufficient life style with his family constructing some of their own furniture, using solar power, and canning many of the fruits and vegetables they grow.

A naturalist and ecologist, Apfelbaum was strongly influenced by the work of Aldo Leopold. For Apfelbaum, however, the satisfaction came not only in the observation and documentation, but also in activism. He bought an 80-acre farm in Wisconsin and restored it to its natural state. The book documents his progress, thinking and the context of his work. I found it interesting, touching and inspiring.
