Let the River Run Silver Again!  How One School Helped Return the American Shad to the Potomac River -- And How You Too Can Help Protect and Restore Our Living Waters        by Sandy Burk

"In Let the River Run Silver Again! author Sandy Burk tells an inspiring story of how a great elementary school environmental education project deeply influenced the lives of young people by involving them in a hands-on project that combined real environmental restoration with public advocacy and learning science. Just as important, though, the author follows up the inspiration with a thorough recipe for teachers and and students to research, design, and set up their own projects, anywhere in the United States.  Sandy's subtitle says it all: How One School Helped Return the American Shad to the Potomac River -- And How You Too Can help Protect and Restore Our Living Waters. The Potomac, the other rivers of the Chesapeake Bay, and indeed, waterways all over the United States need programs like this one. Such first-hand education is an essential investment in the treasures that are our living waters, and in the young people who will become the stewards of them." -- William C. Baker, President, Chesapeake Bay Foundation
