DVD and Companion Booklet Release Date Nov 21, 2009!

Ora E. "Andy" Anderson is a legend in Ohio, but it is his beloved old farm that takes center stage in "Ora E. Anderson: The Soul of the Woods", just as it did in Anderson's life. This DVD and its companion booklet give us rare insight into this remarkable man and how (and why), over the course of his life, a worn-out Ohio hill farm was transformed into a wooded nature preserve teeming with life.

Here, we walk with Anderson over his land, listen to his story—and, perhaps, to the "soul of the woods" inherent within us all—and find our own lives enriched. The accompanying booklet features Anderson's insightful essays on the history of the land, along with selected poems—all beautifully illustrated with original watercolors and drawings of the Anderson farm.

All proceeds from the sale of this booklet and video are donated to the Ora E. Anderson Conservation Fund for Appalachian Ohio. Please enjoy this trailer, and contact Jean Andrews at andrews@ohiolandscape.org to purchase.
