“What English cottage style also means is lower maintenance gardens through close planting and careful selection of plants that will thrive and out-compete weeds. I don't use chemicals or pesticides, and try to create wildlife-friendly gardens, which provide inspirational color and scent through the seasons.”

What we know is that the environmental movement had a series of dazzling victories in the late '60s and in the '70s where the whole legal framework for responding to pollution and to protecting wildlife came into law. It was just victory after victory after victory. And these were what came to be called 'command-and-control' pieces of legislation.

“This announcement is extraordinary in every sense of the word -- from its scope and scale to its tremendous conservation outcomes. Thanks to the support and commitment of our partners, these important lands will protect wildlife habitat, enhance air and water quality, support local economies and provide exceptional outdoor recreation opportunities for future generations.”

“Some of the fires in Idaho and Montana are affecting wildlife habitat and salmon habitat in places we're trying to restore salmon runs, ... So the fire is working against us, and we're going to have a lot of work after the fires are out to try and rehabilitate these areas and try to reduce the risk of more resource damage.”

“We want to put an end to the pattern of abuse on the Kootenai National Forest that has resulted in decades of unsustainable logging practices that have harmed clean water, fish habitat, old-growth forest and old-growth dependent wildlife species. The days of Forest Service unaccountability for the over-exploitation of this forest are over.”

“Of course, we probably should have left them where they were, ... But when we'd bring them home, they'd lay eggs, and next thing you know we'd have baby turtles running around. I love nature and wildlife, and it's always been a part of my family.”

“Being outdoors in the spring is an enjoyable way to spend time learning about nature. At this time of year, it is common to find young rabbits, birds, raccoons, fawn deer or other wildlife that may appear to be abandoned. Rest assured that in most cases, the young animal probably was not abandoned and the best thing to do is not disturb it.”

I have a nice car, a Mercedes. And then I have an old El Camino truck that I'm crazy about. I like to get in that truck and go up in the hills near where I live, in Vegas, and take my camera. That, to me, is Heaven, being out in nature, taking pictures of the wildlife.

“Forests support wildlife, including economically desired species like salmon. They help a lot with hydrology, preventing floods and keeping our water supply clean. And then there's that huge, overarching service trees perform: they pull carbon dioxide out of the air and store it via photosynthesis...Excess oxygen is released into the air.”

“Pheasants Forever members across the state of Iowa are excited to showcase our habitat accomplishments through Pheasant Fest.
