...public to their proper use. With a shoestring budget of $800 and the dedicated efforts of 25 full-time volunteers, her organization has put together slide shows with accompanying texts that contrast spoiled and unspoiled nature. They rent for $2, plus postage and insurance, to a growing audience of garden clubs, schools, Boy Scout groups, Audubon societies and climbing clubs. GOMA also sends out a monthly newsletter plumping for proper woodsmanship, makes members pledge to spread the word personally wherever they go. Highlight of the year, however, comes when GOMA, after soliciting candidates from all across the nation, makes...
