Growing America is the story of an extraordinary man. It's about a man who made a commitment to be nonviolent when serving in Vietnam, a man who looked for solutions rather than be overwhelmed by global problems, a man who went against the received wisdom of forestry services and bureaucracy and inspired ordinary citizens and local government to make a difference in their neighborhoods, communities, and throughout the state. And he did all of it without a paid staff or much money.More than that, Growing America is about civic involvement, of making communities vibrant and healthy, and inspiring all of us to help America flourish.
