New book discusses the origins of the Blue Goose Alliance
A new book by Ed Crozier, currently on the Board of Directors of the Blue Goose Alliance, has just been released. It covers his nearly fifty years as a refuge manager and describes, along with many other things, the formation of the Blue Goose Alliance.
DREAM
HUNTER - A National Wildlife Refuge Manager's Memoir is a series of
recollections that roam from the author Ed Crozier's days as a youth through
his nearly fifty years of working coast to coast with the National Wildlife
Refuge System. The recollections are about his personal outdoor adventures and
his experiences as a professional manager of several national wildlife refuges.
Included are stories about growing up in a small town on the Minnesota prairie, working as Forest Service
fire-tower lookout, a Park Service fire fighter, a wilderness guide and as a
wildlife manager in the Fish & Wildlife Service. Other stories are about
his escapades in the army, grassroots environmental activism, owning a hunting
camp, living with bird hunting dogs, saving a valley, wildlife management, game
law enforcement and the politics of managing a national wildlife refuge.
Included are chapters about the early history of the National Wildlife Refuge
Association, the early days of the refuge Friends movement and the formation of
the Blue Goose Alliance.
