“I looked at [the frog] and he looked at me, and we had a moment where I realized that it wasn’t enough for me to take care of my place—that if I wanted to protect these frogs, if I wanted to hear frogs singing, if I wanted to have frogs there for my grand-kids when they eventually were able to play on my farm, I needed to work upstream, downstream, upland, and all around with neighboring farmers, landowners, and villages in order to clean up the water. That was a real turning point for me.”
