Tribute to Richard L Coleman published August, 2003
We are proud to have had as one of our past newsletter contributors the late Polk Group member John Perry. He was a published author, and longtime environmentalist. We have not archived his articles here. We recommend reading about him and all of the articles he wrotes on his non-profit website Green Earth Journal.
Also not included in our newsletter archives are articles reprinted with permission from the National Wildlife Federation, Backyard Wildlife Habitat information. If you are interested in a wildlife friendly backyard, you might want to visit their site.
