Civic Ecology: Adaptation and Transformation from the Ground Up
Marianne E. Krasny and Keith G. Tidball, 2015
Civic Ecology: Adaptation and Transformation from the Ground Up offers stories of grassroots environmental stewardship, chronicling how environmental stewards have beautified blocks in the Bronx, cleared trash from the Iranian countryside, and worked with traumatized veterans to conserve nature and recreate community. It argues that humans’ innate love of nature and attachment to place compels them to restore places that are threatened or destroyed, with positive outcomes for themselves and their community. This book is the original articulation of civic ecology.

Grassroots to Global: Broader Impacts of Civic Ecology
Editor: Marianne E. Krasny, 2020
In each chapter, a researcher and a hands-on practitioner explore the wider implications of civic ecology practices. How might faith-based institutions in Chicago expand the work of church-community gardens? How do volunteer "nature cleaners" in Tehran attempt to change Iranian social norms? How does an international community in Baltimore engage local people in nature restoration while fostering social equity? How does a child in an impoverished coal mining region become a local and national leader in abandoned mine restoration? And can a loose coalition that transforms blighted areas in Indian cities into pocket parks become a social movement? Editor Marianne Krasny synthesizes the lessons learned to help readers understand the outcomes of civic ecology practices through the lens of multiple disciplines.
