Environmental vacations
volunteer projects to save the planet
by Stephanie Ocko
From Library Journal
For travelers who want a vacation that leaves them with a sense of accomplishment, Ocko provides mainly experiential accounts about helping scientists with field research or assisting in development projects. While she includes addresses and background information on Earthwatch and other agencies, her focus is on giving potential volunteers a sense of what to expect. Ocko is honest about the hard physical work, lack of facilities, expense, and perils of doing research in remote areas, but she also makes such a vacation seem stimulating and rewarding. This readable book belongs in most public and school libraries (YA volunteers are wanted too).
