Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
"Pyle has created a collection of vividly responsive observations and speculations about the diversity and requirements of life, from butterflies to bears" (LJ 2/1/87) in these essays on the ecology of southwest Washington State. His thoughts are not only for wildlife; he says that abusing the land through overlogging and overfishing hurts local economies and, thus, people.

This review is from: Wintergreen: Listening to the Land's Heart (Paperback)
I can't believe this book isn't available. I loved every minute spent with it. Robert Pyle is scientist and poet and he writes about the Willapa Hills with the same love I feel for the Oregon coast - also overlogged and abused but beautiful nonetheless. He teaches and shows how to look in new ways. Fantastic!
