The words and images (150 color photos) in this book are about people achieving extraordinary results that give the rest of us hope. They are about peoples' intimate relationship to their surroundings and the bounty that their commitment produces. They are also about communities that define themselves through the values and spaces they share in common.

In these pages, you will see why Washington State can be known for its commitment to environmental stewardship and community vitality. The forty-three examples profiled in this book highlight the relationship people can nurture with the land, air, water, wildlife, and others they live and do business with.

A project of: Sustainable Northwest in partnership with Shared Strategy for Puget Sound, Farming and the Environment, and Washington State University Center for Sustaining Agriculture and Natural Resources.
