"Life
is enriched by aspiration and effort, rather than by acquisition and
accumulation."
— Helen and Scott Nearing Living the Good
Life
The Thoreau Institute at
Walden Woods holds a rich collection of documents spanning eight
decades in the lives of Scott and Helen Nearing, the New England
pioneers of homesteading, organic gardening, and sustainable living.
The gift of these papers to the Thoreau Institute at Walden Woods
from
The Trust for
Public Land as an agent for
The
Good Life Center helps make the Institute a focal point for the
study of the twentieth-century sustainable living movement and the
remarkable individuals who influenced it.
