Field of Dreams

These are stories from a special section I wrote about Lynn Carpenter, a biologist at the University of California, Irvine. On their merits alone, I was named one of the nation's top three environmental writers in the 1994 Meeman Environmental Reporting competition.

FIELDS OF DREAMS // Taking it personally // The horror of deforestation hit Lynn Carpenter hard, prompting a change in her life's focus

FIELDS OF DREAMS // The volunteers: DOING BIRD DUTY // One task requires a sense of humor

FIELDS OF DREAMS // The volunteers: TESTING THE WATER

FIELDS OF DREAMS // The volunteers: GETTING DOWN TO EARTH // Every ridge and rut must be surveyed

FIELDS OF DREAMS // The volunteers: GETTING DOWN TO EARTH // Studying ants is a great vacation

FIELDS OF DREAMS // Anatomy of an experiment

FIELDS OF DREAMS // Lesson plan
