Each year since 2015, I have edited and published a book for Protect Geauga Parks, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to protecting the county park district from abuse by corrupt politicians. As with the previous editions, this book includes profiles of individuals who made extraordinary contributions to the preservation and conservation of parklands in Geauga County over the past several decades. The book includes six of my landscape photographs of scenes in the Geauga Parks as well as poetry by Grace Butcher, an award winning writer from Geauga County.

I do several projects throughout the year for Protect Geauga Parks including maintaining their website and printing banners and other graphics. But the Heroes of Conservation book is always a special project that gives me the opportunity to contribute something uniquely personal to the effort to protect our environment here in Geauga County.
