Wooster Margaret Wooster is a watershed planner with Buffalo Niagara
Riverkeeper and author of Somewhere to Go
on Sunday: A Guide to Natural Treasures in Praise
from Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “Living Waters
explores tributaries and rivers that feed and drain to Great Lakes across New
York State and down the St. Lawrence with an appreciation for their rich
natural and cultural histories, and an awareness of their impact on the largest
freshwater ecosystem in the world. Aldo Leopold, a guiding voice throughout,
once said that the best way to nurture an environmental ethic in society is to
help people see, feel, love and have faith in actual places. These river
stories cultivate that intimacy.” Book
