This is truly a success story of how, when we do the right thing to correct the course of a negative impact on the world, we help to heal and restore the delicate natural balance.  It starts with understanding that we humans are but a single strand in the web of life and that what we do as a single species has an impact on the whole web. Christine will have her rehabbed Bald Eagle with her.
