Change is mandatory. Progress is optional!
"To build a bridge is the ultimate act of kindness." - Paul Williams
Environmental activist and organizational developer, Derek Reuter has dedicated his life to making positive socio-political change in his native Indiana. He works tirelessly to improve the state’s shamefully poor environmental rankings by simultaneously taking administrative and hands-on approaches, leading the way towards increased conservation and a more sustainable approach to agriculture, industry, development, energy, and the use of our natural resources.
Derek has utilized his skills as a Certified Master Gardener and graduate of the Indiana Watershed Leadership Academy to affect change across the state in permaculture, ethnobotany, and water quality. He has worked with such influential organizations as the Heartland Communities, Citizens Action Coalition, National Park Service, and the Wabash River Heritage Corridor Commission, and has served as Watershed Coordinator for the Upper Maumee River. From this post he created and oversaw programs in education, outreach, inventory, and planning - focusing on pollution protection and ecosystem restoration of a 620 square mile area of land and water in Northeastern Indiana.
Most recently Derek has taken on a leadership role in A Greener Indiana, the state’s online network and support system for individuals, businesses, and organizations concerned with improving the state’s eco-management. He is currently the Northeast Indiana Resource for the Hoosier Environmental Council's education program and is heavily involved in the fight to save Indiana’s Cedar Creek Area, the land of his family heritage and legacy, from degradation and development.

It's been a rotten busy couple of days here too.
I look forward to hearing from you whenever.

So sail as you will, and your journey be safe, lest Davy takes more than yer belly ache. And with heart an ear e'er pressed, I'll listen to the harp's tale's spun. And await the tide that brings ye near and ne'er take ye again.
The mead is e'er fresh, As fates brush do 'er hand and drag ye wretched back to this land, where the full'd up moon sighs lazily o'er and dreams of times avast and yonder, and somewhere 'midst the barley fields and roaring sea, lies the place ye shall find me.
Swooned I may have, and swooned I be... but there be treasure where ye find me.
Jus keep ye head in yer cup and yer gob to ye'self and I'll warsh away ye troubles love. ;)
