To Horse and Away
The ancient tradition of fox chasing is alive and well in the rolling green hills and farm fields of Carroll County.

A Sparrow's Return
The largest land set-aside deal in Maryland's history has created a living laboratory in Kent County on Maryland's eastern Shore. 5200-acre Chino Farms is now home to a number of natural resource experiments that include restoring an ancient prairie and the Sparrows that once lived there. Dr. Doug Gill has a Massachusetts M.D. to thank for his success at Chino Farms - Henry Sears, who continued to buy up the Chester.

Lifting the Hand of Man
The draining of the Florida Everglades...the taming of the mighty Mississippi River...construction of the great dune line of the Outer Banks: the power of man's ability to manipulate nature and rebuild it to suit his needs is proven. Now, after decades of re-engineering the environment, researchers and government alike are beginning to see the wisdom of restoring ecosystems - such as when Virginia's Embry Dam was destroyed in 2004 to partially return the Rappahannock river to its natural state.
