Formed From Soil

Essayist and poet writing on Christianity, creation, stewardship, distributism, and the theology of gardening.

Formed from the Soil is a blend of faith & conservation. It's a great newsletter, I am glad I stumbled on it. It challenges its readers from a faith perspective to engage in conservation of God's created world. Let's not dismiss it.

More Than Just Parks

Public lands face mounting threats: exploitation, overcrowding, underfunding, privatization, climate, & policies that prioritize profit over preservation. Written by award-winning filmmakers & conservationists, the Pattiz Brothers.

The newsletter provides a lot of information on the topic of public lands, how we interact with them, how corporations & government are using/misusing them. I really enjoyed the article on the American Bison.
