Wintergreen

Set in the Willapa Hills of southwest Washington, the narrative explores the dual threat of extinction facing both the human and forest communities due to extensive logging. Robert Michael Pyle vividly portrays the landscape and its inhabitants—animals, plants, and people—while sharing his personal connection to the hills. His balanced perspective resonates with both loggers and environmentalists, emphasizing his empathy for the land and its people, but not for the companies that exploit them.
