Jane Tucker, senior research assistant in the �������� Ecosystems Center, co-wrote this new book for children that explains why treating your lawn and garden with fertilizers and pesticides can harm local waterways and wildlife. The book reinforces a long-standing research focus at the (PIE-LTER) site in northeastern Massachusetts, which is directed by �������� Senior Scientist Anne Giblin as part of the National Science Foundation's LTER network.

Another new addition to the Schoolyard Book Series from about kids taking action after learning that maintaining "perfect" lawns in the neighborhood with fertilizer, pesticides, and excess watering may be bad for their local stream habitat.
