Join award-winning authors David George Gordon, Brenda Guiberson, and David Montgomery as they lead classroom and field-based sessions. They bring years of experience as writers, researchers, and teachers. Each is an attentive observer who weaves together history, science, and field time into well- crafted, thought-provoking writing about the natural and cultural world. Plus, with Brenda we have the insights of a children’s book author, who is sure to give everyone a new and captivating perspective on the environment.
We in the Pacific Northwest are fortunate to live not only in a place where nature abounds but also to live in place where place-based writers abound. Whether it is exploring the deep time of geology, considering the myriad ways of slugs, bugs, and everyone’s favorite, cockroaches, or connecting children with the natural world around them, these authors will inspire us to continue writing about the environment in all its guises.
