"We abuse the land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us.
When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may
begin to use it with love and respect"

Charmed: Teen raises money for ISU Wildlife Care Clinic by selling owl charms.

Years before she is ready to enroll at Iowa State University where she hopes to one day become a veterinarian, Celia Echt already has made a significant contribution to the ISU College of Veterinary Medicine.

Echt, 13, a seventh-grader at Northwood Junior High in Highland Park, Ill., has spent the past several months making, marketing and selling owl-shaped plastic charms as a way to raise funds for the college’s Wildlife Care Clinic. The nonprofit clinic serves as a triage area for injured wildlife brought to Ames by people from around the state. Treated animals that can survive on their own are released back into the wild. Those that can’t are given to other educational facilities or remain at the clinic.
