The Great Depression of the 1930s set the stage for "the greatest afforestation program the world has known" when the Forest Service was given the task of planting shelterbelts from Texas to Canada in a zone a hundred miles wide. The venture, known as the Prairie States Forestry Project or the Shelterbelt Project, resulted in the planting of millions of trees between 1834 and 1942. Today, the millions of trees planted in the Depression stand as a monument to President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who originated the idea of the project, and to friends of environmental concern everywhere. Not all the trees are living, and many of the belts have been removed in the interest of technological advances in Plains' agriculture or the farmer's decision to increase his planting acreage. Conservationists and spokesmen in government have become alarmed by the destruction of the belts. The time has come to re-evaluate the importance of trees to the environment of the prairies and plains of mid-America, for recent droughts again created a need to plant trees to combat erosion and to make the region more hospitable to the people who live there and who provide the world with its bread.

Urban trees on the prairies are essential to our changing landscape environment. I have helped thousands of people with their tree problems over the past 43 years. Tree diseases and how to deal with them continue to plague a very large number of people. "Where can we get more information about these tree problems?" is a question I am constantly being asked. This book will help you to narrow the search for the problems plaguing your trees by going through the images and accompanied text. As well, there are also helpful detailed instructions on how to take care of the nutritional requirements of your trees. Keeping a tree healthy can reduce its susceptibility to diseases much as good nutrition does with people and animals. You can always reach me on line at www.treeexperts.mb.ca if you need any further help. Enjoy your trees!

The prairies are Robert Collins's spiritual home. He was born and raised on a Saskatchewan farm but lived most of his adult life elsewhere. Now he returns to his homeland to pay homage to the special nature of the people who live in this unique region of Canada. His cast of characters, some poignant, some hilarious, includes city- and town-dwellers, farmers, oilmen, politicians, artists. He encounters a cowboy poet with a Ph.D.; the private world of a Hutterite colony; a single mother who is a rancher; the banker who saved an historic tree; a native woman fighting to clean up the reserves. He takes a sly look at the Western "redneck," samples local culinary delights, and finds a passionate love of prairie in Peter Lougheed. Prairie People describes the stark misery of the earliest settlers and the fierce elements that shape and toughen their descendants to this day. And it examines the increasingly urban face of the region, explains the unifying distrust of "Central Canada," and illustrates the people's hardy pessimism, their uncommon independence and self-reliance, their legendary humour, warmth, and friendliness. An absorbing compilation of stories told in the voices of ordinary people and the author's own memories and commentary on the region's past and present, Prairie People explores the characteristics that define these people to themselves and reveals them to the rest of Canada.

This volume discusses gardens as designed landscapes of mediation between nature and culture, embodying different levels of human control over wilderness, defining specific rules for this confrontation and staging different forms of human dominance. The contributing authors focus on ways of rethinking the garden and its role in contemporary society, using it as a crossover platform between nature, science and technology. Drawing upon their diverse fields of research, including History of Science and Technology, Environmental Studies, Gardens and Landscape Studies, Urban Studies, and Visual and Artistic Studies, the authors unveil various entanglements woven in the past between nature and culture, and probe the potential of alternative epistemologies to escape the predicament of fatalistic dystopias that often revolve around the Anthropocene debate. This book will be of great interest to those studying environmental and landscape history, the history of science and technology, historical geography, and the environmental humanities.
