Wintergreen: Rambles in a Ravaged Land by Robert Michael Pyle

4.0

This is an older book first published in 1986 and is all about the Willapa Hills and Grays Harbor region of southwest Washington. The author who is a resident (and also a poet) writes beautifully of the flora and fauna of the region and the environmental impact of logging on the forests there. I am struck by the similarities to the situation in the Appalachian hills where I grew up - a region also decimated by mining and logging, particularly coal mining.
