Book synopsis

Let the River Run Silver Again! is an environmental conservation success story for students of upper elementary through junior high school ages, and the teachers, parents, or others who mentor them. The greater part of the book follows students from one elementary school in Maryland as they take part, over a period of nine years, in a major regional conservation initiative to restore populations of an important fish, the American shad, to the Chesapeake Bay watershed. As time passed, the students became involved in other projects to improve the overall health of their watershed. The narrative of the student's projects is presented in an energetic style, and at a level, that will both engage and inform other readers of the same age. A short section at the end of the book identifies pathways for students and their mentors to take to design and implement water, wetland, and watershed restoration projects in other locations.
