Prince George, BC - Join Conservation North on Wednesday, July 12th at 6:00 pm at the Omineca Arts Centre for an evening with Terry Nelson as he discusses his book Big Trees of the Inland Temperate Forests of British Columbia.
“[Terry’s book] captures perfectly the otherworldly and humbling experience of sharing space with an organism that sprouted centuries before European colonizers reshaped North America. This book reminds us that the measure of our time will be what we choose to defend and leave behind for others.”
Dave Quinn, Kootenay Mountain Culture
Through photographs and writings, this book vividly captures Terry’s adventures into the upper reaches of the Robson Valley in the north, the Cascade Highlands in the west, the Rocky Mountains in the east, and along the Canadian border to the south.
Terry’s work creates a broader public awareness of the importance of primary forests in producing the long-lived giants we all admire: “I hope that the resulting exposure will inspire a continued conservation ethos necessary to support these life sustaining ecological systems and the collective well being of all living things.”
Free finger food and refreshments will be provided. See you there!
