Description
I started my career working as an inexperienced forest technology graduate in 1970. Over the next fifty years of tramping through the rugged mountains of British Columbia, the vast boreal muskeg of Alberta, and the sprawling, prairie grasslands I have become an expert on vegetation ecology. This story chronicles my life surviving in the wilderness of western Canada and provides the reader with a taste of working in the environmental arena and the challenges of such. Now I am passing the torch to younger generations of scientists. I have laboured in the wildest parts of coastal British Columbia, the west Kootenays, the Rocky Mountains, rough logging camps, seething industrial tar sands, the wide expanses of the prairies, and the windswept Arctic tundra. Now at the age of 72, my book describes many of my challenging adventures and never-ending quest for scientific data. Join me as I take you on an epic journey through the Canadian wilderness.
