He Loved to Carry the Message: The Collected Writings of Douglas Helms

The writings of former Natural Resources Conservation Service historian and long-time SWCS member Douglas Helms have been edited by the current NRCS historian, Sam Stalcup, and recently published in a single volume, He Loved to Carry the Message: The Collected Writings of Douglas Helms. 

The writings, which date from 1967 to 2010, cover a range of conservation issues, including the work done in early soil surveys; the roles of Hugh Hammond Bennett and Walter Lowdermilk in the soil conservation movement; and ongoing concerns about wildlife, forest science, range management, water quality, and agriculture.

This new collection is an important addition to any conservationist's shelf.  Preview and order the book online here.
