Rachel Carson:
The Wonder of Nature
Performed by Ann Beyke

1300 Girard Blvd. NE
Rachel Carson was a marine biologist when few women dared even tread the water. Her lifelong love of nature and science led to research on how uncontrolled chemical use in our cities, towns and farming communities devastated wildlife and food sources. Silent Spring, her bestselling book on the topic, detailed this devastation and led to the eventual ban on the use of DDT in the United States. Carson’s work made environmentalism an integral part of our lives as she became the Mother of the Environmental Movement.
