THE PERFECT MONTANA CHRISTMAS GIFT!!!
THE ROADLESS YAAK, a beautiful anthology of writings about the Yaak
Valley's last roadless areas, contains 36 essays by the nation's finest
poets, essayists, and scientists, as well as essays by environmental
activists, loggers, hunting and fishing guides, Forest Service employees,
and a stirring introduction by ex-Chief of the U.S. Forest Service, Mike
Dombeck--all testifying on behalf of protection for the last remaining
roadless lands in the Yaak.
The essays have been gathered over the last
eight years, and contain entries by Terry Tempest Williams, Bill McKibben,
William Kittredge, Sandra Alcosser, Doug Peacock, Doug Chadwick, David
James Duncan, Annick Smith, Robert Michael Pyle, Janisse Ray, and many
others, as well as Yaak residents Laura Sedler, Tim Linehan, Scott Daily,
Todd Tanner, and Jeff Ferderer. Edited by Rick Bass, all proceeds from
the sales of this book will go to benefit the Yaak Valley Forest Council, a
local grassroots group up in the Yaak working to protect the last roadless
areas in the Yaak, and to support, where possible, a sustainable local
economy that continues to be based on the natural resources.
