Marcy C. Houle
forest Park: Exploring Portland's Natural Sanctuary
WAF is excited to present wildlife biologist and author Marcy Cottrell Houle. Her latest work, Forest Park: Exploring Portland's Natural Sanctuary provides a wealth of information about Portland’s unique Forest Park. One finds detailed descriptions of twenty-one hikes, each of which focuses on a particular topic (e.g., watersheds, geology, lichens, amphibians, or pollinators). Photographs and maps accompany each description. Marcy has also covered the experience of human aging in two heartfelt and practical guides: The Gift of Caring: Saving our Parents from the Perils of Modern Healthcare and The Gift of Aging: Growing Older with Purpose, Planning and Positivity. Both are co-authored with Elizabeth Eckstrom, MD. Previous award winning books of Marcy’s include The Prairie Keepers: Secrets of the Zumwalt and Wings for My Flight: The Peregrine Falcons of Chimney Rock. You can see her in person at the Book Fair on Saturday, December 7th. Please check the official signing schedule published by Bird Alliance of Oregon in case of changes before you head out.
