Marty
and Nancy Drury started Ecology Sports in Manitowoc in the basement
of their own house back in 1972. 1984 saw the opening of Ecology
Sports Door County, located in the Country Walk Shops of Sister
Bay. In 1999, Alicia, Marty and Nancy's daughter, moved Ecology
Sports from the Country Walk Shop location to the old Liberty Grove
Town Hall, just a mile further North on Highway 42.
William James noted, "We have, most of us got far,
far away from nature. We are trained to seek the choice, the rare,
the exquisite exclusively and to overlook the common - we grow stone
blind and insensible to life's more elementary goods and joys. "
In returning, if only now and then to the wilderness,
or some semblance of it, we become citizens of the Earth, It is
not only our environment that we learn about, but of ourselves.
Our
incentive is to get back to a more natural environment and improve
quality in living. Our clothing, books, accessories and canoes are
an invitation to get out there and have a great time while interacting
with the Earth's natural elements. We support local environmental
causes, sustainable agriculture, believe in fair trade and strive
towards a world that is safe and clean for our children.
