Customer Reviews

An important celebration of the region

Canada's boreal region cover over a billion acres from Newfoundland to the Yukon, and is still an intact, living environment with healthy wildlife populations and clean rivers: that's what makes it unique in today's world, and why Rendezvous With The Wild: The Boreal Forest is such an important celebration of the region. The book is part of a national project to educate the public about the forest's importance: chapters use journal notes, sketches, photos, art images, and songs to capture the thoughts of a project Boreal Rendezvous, which brought together Canadians on a series of ten river canoe trips from one side of the boreal to the other. A gorgeous tribute and celebration for any outdoors enthusiast.

Great Pics to Drool Over

If you like great photography then this book will probably inspire you as the pics are to drool over. If you like insightful nature writing then the text will also inspire you to appreciate the importance of the boreal forest to our country, continent and planet. The first time through it I couldn't put it down. Then I found myself picking it up almost every day for a month, returning to a different page each time to savour the beauty of the content and the design. A great book, well crafted by talented people who are committed to raising awareness about our natural heritage. Five stars.
