      By Gill, Charlotte, 1971-  David Suzuki Foundation
       c2011., General, Greystone Books Call No: 333.75 G475e    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: Charlotte Gill spent twenty years working as a tree planter in the forests of Canada. During her million-tree career, she encountered hundreds of clearcuts, each one a collision site between human civilization and the natural world, a complicated landscape presenting geographic evidence of our appetites. Charged with sowing the new forest in these clearcuts, tree planters are a tribe caught between the stumps and the virgin timber, between environmentalists and loggers.

      By Nikiforuk, Andrew, 1955-  David Suzuki Foundation
       c2011., General, Greystone Books Edition: eBook ed.    Summary Note: Beginning in the late 1980s, a series of pine beetle (also known as the bark beetle) outbreaks unsettled iconic forests and communities across western North America. An insect the size of a rice kernel eventually killed more than 30 billion pine and spruce trees from Alaska to New Mexico. Author Andrew Nikiforuk draws on first-hand accounts from entomologists, botanists, foresters, and rural residents to investigate this unprecedented pine beetle plague, its startling implications, and the lessons it holds. Written in an accessible way, Empire of the Beetle is the only book on the pine beetle epidemic that is devastating the North American West.

Peter Wohlleben's wealth of personal experience observing nature in forests and fields with the latest scientific research into how animals interact with the world.

Peter Wohlleben follows his Hidden Life of Trees with these insightful stories into the emotions, thoughts, and intelligence of animals around us. Animals are different from us in amazing ways - and they are also much closer to us than we ever would have thought. Peter Wohlleben writes on ecological themes. He manages a municipally owned, environmentally friendly woodland in Germany."--Inside cover.

      By Casey, Allan  David Suzuki Foundation
       c2009., D & M Publishers Inc. Call No: 551.48 C337l    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: More than just a place, Lakeland is a state of mind in this ode to Canadaœs abundant freshwater systems The story begins at Emma Lake, Saskatchewan, site of writer Allan Caseyœs family cabin, built by his parents in 1960 for $2,500. From there, we embark on a journey through ten of Canadaœs seldom-celebrated but beautiful and increasingly fragile lakes in this extraordinary piece of writing celebrating one of Canadaœs iconic natural features. More than 60 percent of the worldœs five million lakes are crammed into this one northern country. Endless pure lakes are the defining and unifying symbol of the Canadian landscape, making us the envy of a thirsty world. Casey, an award-winning journalist, takes us on a journey of these lakes, from log cabins to lakeside mansions, from the semi-desert of Okanagan Lake to the ponds of western Newfoundland, and over the language barrier to Lac Saint-Jean, Quebec. Across the sprawling, hard-to-define land called Canada, the language of lakes is spoken. Lakeland, suggests Casey, is a place, a state of mind, and perhaps even a new synonym for Canada. Despite problems of overdevelopment, these lakes remain the heartland of this country, and the place where our relationship with wilderness itself begins.
