“Today we are a people whose love of the fields, the woods, the rivers is increasing, if only because modern life with its methods of cultivation and building is to a great extent robbing us of these things in which many find peace nowhere else discovered…

…and we hope for a future where the people having ears, hear, and having eyes, see, and not only the present generation but the next, that they may find in nature truer colors than in the television screen, sweeter music in bird song than that of the latest popular songster, true beauty in a ‘charm’ of goldfinches, warmth in the rising sun, and solace in the cool of the evening.”

— Elspeth Ricks, PNEU Journal, 1971
