We are very excited to welcome back author Bob Butz.  His essays range from the serious to the humorous, and are always entertaining...especially when you are familiar with a life 'up north.'  This time, Butz is tackling what it takes to plan a "green" burial.

"As an award-winning author and amateur naturalist, Butz is a man who's spent most of his career writing about the magic of woods, water, wildlife, the open air, and the soul-stirring goodness of a life lived close to the land. Yet, when it comes to living green, this pickup driving, diaper-changing, thirty-something, stay-at-home father of two admits he's like most Americans—hardly a candidate for Environmentalist of the Year.  But these qualities make him the perfect, unbiased and down-to-earth guide through the natural burial process. From hand digging a grave to a vivid introduction on the art of death midwifery and what is required to care for a dead body at home, Butz offers a witty and detailed account of his adventure into the current trend of green burials."-more book description available at www.bobbutz.com

"At once elegant and funny as hell, Bob Butz has written the most useful book I’ve seen all year…” —Doug Peacock, Grizzly Years: In Search of the American Wilderness
