    Good stuff, thanks for posting this – very valuable information for biologists and wardens in the field and pathologists in the lab. Very interesting story and good for her for deciding to do this on her own with little support and at an age when most of us probably won’t want to tackle a serious life change.

Quote

‎"At some point we must draw a line across the ground of our home and our being, drive a spear into the land and say to the bulldozers, earthmovers, government and corporations, “thus far and no further.” If we do not, we shall later feel, instead of pride, the regret of Thoreau, that good but overly-bookish man, who wrote, near the end of his life, “If I repent of anything it is likely to be my good behaviour."
