More fitness. America’s obesity epidemic curbed. Less gasoline burned, fewer carbon emissions. Safer streets. Improved access to public transit. Those are just some of the reasons why biking and walking proponents say it’s time for the federal government to focus less on new and expanded highways, and far more on safe pathways and “complete streets” for our towns and cities.

Just about everything one might want to know about the Vermilion River is in the beautiful book, Living in the Vermilion River Watershed. Read about the book here, and download chapters here.
The book includes 23 articles and over 300 full color photographs, contributed by 25 local writers and 18 photographers. Among the topics are farm conservation programs, geology, native peoples, birds, fish, wildflowers, invasive plants, and water quality.
The book was a collaborative effort of many organizations and volunteers, including Oberlin College faculty and students and the Western Reserve Land Conservancy's Firelands Chapter. Overall editors were Jan Cooper and Mary Garvin.
This site is inspired by the memory of Richard Shatten, a former board member of EcoCity Cleveland,
who pushed Northeast Ohio to think strategically about regionalism and sustainability.
