Deadline: Midnight tonight

John, did you know Rachel Carson’s groundbreaking 1962 book, Silent Spring, helped inspire EDF’s first big fight? A pioneering biologist, she drew a direct line from pesticides to the death of songbirds and inspired EDF’s founders to ban the pesticide DDT.

We invite you to celebrate Rachel Carson’s birthday today by deepening your commitment to her vision of protecting wildlife, the environment, and our health:

When you start a monthly gift by midnight tonight, you can receive an exclusive copy of Acorn Days: The Environmental Defense Fund and How it Grew by EDF’s first secretary, Marion Lane Rogers. Donate here:

You won’t find this intimate memoir in bookstores. Only a few thousand copies were ever printed, and until recently, most copies belonged only to current and former EDF staff.

For our Spring Membership Drive, we’re releasing just 100 copies from the dwindling supply in our “EDF vault.” We can’t predict when, or if, we’ll be able to offer it again. So don’t miss today's midnight deadline to claim one of these rare copies for yourself!

Your monthly gift also makes you an EDF Eco Partner and activates a 12-month $1-for-$1 match from the Robert W. Wilson Charitable Trust, doubling your impact for an entire year.
