Stories and photos from the recently published book Renewing the Countryside-Iowa will be presented by Jerry DeWitt, photographer and ISU Extension entomologist, and other book participants. Renewing the Countryside-Iowa highlights the activities of Iowans making a living and creating a quality of life that is good not only economically but good for the local community and environment. Among the participants will be local producers Larry Cleverley and the "Goat rnoms" of Northern Prairie Chevre; Frederick Kirschenmann, Director, Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture; and writer/editor Shellie Orngard.
