A guest blog post by Sarah Royce and lvaro Palacios Casanova, submitted for their capstone project, in partial fulfillment of their UC California Naturalist certificate.

If there is any doubt about the power of words, one only has to look to the writings of Rachel Carson, a naturalist and biologist who is credited with inspiring the modern environmental movement.
