SUMMARY:Conservancy Day: Remembering Rachel
DESCRIPTION:In 1958\, Bette Duff had a memorable summer job between her junior and senior year in college.  She assisted Rachel Carson who was gathering information for her upcoming book about the dangers of pesticides. After graduation\, Bette kept in touch with Rachel and worked briefly for her again in 1960. Bette finds that Rachel Carson’s life and work often provide encouragement for those today who face discouraging challenges as they seek to protect the environment.  She recalls the way they did library research in the days before the internet and xerox machines.  She describes the quiet yet determined manner with which Rachel Carson faced both personal and professional challenges.  Bette’s observations have been quoted in Paul Brooks’ biography of Rachel Carson\, The House of Life (1972) and in Linda Lear’s biography\, Rachel Carson\, Witness for Nature (1977). \nAbout the speaker: Bette Duff worked as a biologist doing research and instructing in the labs at both Case Western Reserve and Yale.  She moved to Madison in 1975 with her husband and two sons.  She got her Master’s degree in English Literature at the University of Wisconsin. Then\, at age 53\, she went to McCormick Theological Seminary in Chicago.  She served as Associate Pastor of Covenant Presbyterian Church here in Madison for 10 years until her retirement. \nRSVPs appreciated to conservancyday@pheasantbranch.org \nPhoto credit: Alfred Eisenstaedt/The LIFE Picture Collection/Getty Images.

SUMMARY:Conservancy Day: The Nature Cure: An Antidote To Our Stressful Lives
DESCRIPTION:Many of us have known intuitively for a long time that a walk in the woods or the prairie\, a visit to a park\, some time paddling on water or walking along a stream or even time spent in a backyard with grass\, flowers and trees can have a calming and refreshing effect on us. This intuitive sense has a long and worldwide history. Cyrus the Great built gardens for relaxation 2\,500 years ago in the busy capital of Persia. Paracelsus\, the 16th-century German-Swiss physician\, gave voice to this intuition when he claimed\, “The art of healing comes from nature\, not from the physician.” William Wordsworth marveled at how “an eye made quiet by the power / Of harmony” and countless others have followed such as Ralph Waldo Emerson and John Muir. Our intuition about the healing power of nature has now been reinforced by empirical science and how exposure to nature has a curative effect on our brains and bodies. Come and explore this fascinating relationship between ourselves\, nature and our health. \nDr. Gary Sater is a retired clinical and sport psychologist living in Middleton. He recently completed the Master Naturalist course and is a member of the Restoration and Management Committee with the Friends of Pheasant Branch Conservancy. He also provides some of the nature photography used by FOPBC for their website and promotional activities. \nDirections: Enter the school driveway at the main entrance on Donna Drive.Then drive past the entire front of the building and park in the eastern most parking lot. Enter the building at Door 3 in the east wing of the building. \nRSVPs are appreciated to conservancyday@pheasantbranch.org. \nEvery Conservancy Day is: \n\nFree — thanks to your donations and membership as a Friend\nOpen to the public\nFor all ages unless a specific age group is given in the program description\nDiverse — More than 400 participants each year enjoy topics ranging from wildlife\, science\, resource management\, natural and cultural history and current community issues.\n\nThank you for your generous gifts and participation.
