When a bird calls, we listen.
To the mewing of gulls. The shree! of the hunting hawk.
The hoo-eek! hoo-eek! of a wood duck coming to roost
in a beaver pond. The iambic call of a bobwhite quail.
Each of nature’s voices has a message, from the
silence of a flower to the rhythmic roar of the sea. But
the time for just listening is gone. Strong environmental
action is needed now.
That’s why we pay farmers to plant transmission
rights-of-way with crops for wildlife. Have professional
foresters caring for our 62,000 acres of woodlands.
Build cooling towers to protect the rivers. And install
electrostatic precipitators to keep the air fresh and clean.
Through these and many other programs, we’ve ac
tively promoted conservation for a long time. And are
especially active now. Because it could be now, or never.
