Synopsis
To Save a River magnificently documents the natural history and preservation of Maine's Ducktrap River. Through 80 spectacular images, beautifully reproduced in tritone, environmental photographer Dennis C. Shultz captures the pristine glory of one of only eight remaining rivers in the United States that are home to wild Atlantic salmon populations. Shultz's photographs, made throughout the seasons over a three-year period, offer readers a unique perspective of the river and serve to dramatize the results of ongoing conservation efforts by the Ducktrap Coalition. In his accompanying essay, Scott Dickerson, Executive Director of the Coastal Mountains Land Trust which oversees the Ducktrap Coalition, describes the innovative process through which major portions of the 36-square-mile Ducktrap watershed have been preserved. His fascinating text illuminates the success of this conservation program in terms of its long-term benefits to the Atlantic salmon and to the region's fragile ecosystem as a whole.

Reviews
This photographic essay tells the story of Maine's Ducktrap River, which, while not especially large, stands out as one of only eight rivers in the United States that still has a wild population of Atlantic salmon. The area is also the beneficiary of a highly successful conservation effort coordinated by the Coastal Mountains Land Trust. Environmental photographer Schultz spent three years documenting the Ducktrap watershed, and his collection of platinum images documents Ducktrap's history and restoration. Dickerson, the executive director of the Land Trust, contributed the accompanying essays. In contrast to similar books on environmental issues, this one celebrates a success story. By working together, conservation groups, state and federal agencies, local governments, citizen groups, and landowners have assured that fully 81 percent of the land along the river will be permanently conserved. Of interest to river enthusiasts, conservationists, and photographic artists and essential for regional libraries.
