They educated themselves, raised money, hired laborers, and eventually got out to “weed the communal garden.” Years later, a bio-diverse habitat for native birds, plants and rare turtles is returning; and the phragmite reed is in retreat. Human intervention here is not to shape nature to one’s aesthetic taste, but rather to restore nature so that it can take its own course. Lori's triumphant story demonstrates the power of civic engagement and the age-old motto that "everybody can do something." The result... an inspirational grassroots model for environmental restoration in action that leaves audience members wanting to get out and partake in ecological restoration- wherever they live. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Phragmites australis. 650 0 Community-based conservation. 651 0 Marion Lake (Long Island, N.Y.). 655 7 Documentary films.|2lcgft 700 1 Schiller, Greta,|efilm director. 710 2 Kanopy (Firm) 856 40 |uhttps://naperville.kanopy.com/node/143924|zAvailable on Kanopy 856 42 |zCover Image|uhttps://www.kanopy.com/node/143924/external -image
