Rocky Mountain Land Library a resource linking land and community The Rocky Mountain Land Library exists to extend everyone's knowledge of the land; waking us to the sheer miracle of life on earth, while providing access to the stewardship tools we all need. As the demands on our environment increase, there has never been a better time for us to know the ground at our feet, and feel more personally the responsibility we have to leave a livable planet for future generations. This site has been designed to let you learn a bit more about: • our 15,000 volume natural history library • the Rocky Mountain Land Library's educational outreach programs, and finally • our plans to create a truly unique residential land-study center for the Rockies. The Rocky Mountain Land Library is like a gene bank for words, it's our way of saving the past for the future. The library and its future plans foster a sense of place too easily lost in our information age with its virtual realities. Instead, it builds a world of words and stories we can get lost in - and find ourselves. --David Mas Masumoto, farmer and author of Epitaph for a Peach
