Ramblings from the Trail
Ramblings from the Trail explores the audacious spirit of Midwest exploration and the surprising connections among people and landscape. At its center is Elizabeth Fries Ellet—namesake of the Minnesota River interpretive trail and famed author of The Women of the Revolutionary War. Her evocative travel writing and nature observations place her alongside Emerson and Thoreau, pioneering an early “walking text” tradition.
allows the reader to explore as Ellet did, fully immersed in a sense of place, its habitat and its history

Workbook for a Career in Wildlife Management and Natural Resource Conservation
This concise history traces how the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources shifted from hunter-focused game management to an ecological, biodiversity-based approach with the creation of the Nongame Wildlife Program in 1977. A national model, the program supports surveying and restoring species from butterflies and bats to bald eagles, peregrine falcons, and trumpeter swans. Written for Minnesotans who donate via the Nongame Wildlife Checkoff—and all who use DNR guidance—it shows how citizen generosity has protected wildlife and habitats.
I plan to begin using it in my college wildlife classroom
