Registration is required in advance.\n\nAbout Feathered Forest. . .\n“Luminous.”—Bill McKibben, author of Here Comes the Sun\nAcclaimed nature writer Marina Richie guides us into a vertical world of old-growth forests through the eyes of the birds that inhabit them—exploring her journey as an environmentalist in her signature verdant prose.\nWith exquisite prose and meticulous research, Marina Richie interweaves memoir with clear-eyed notes on ecology to create an engaging blend of scientific and soulful observations.\nIn Feathered Forest, birds are our guides to a vertical world of ancient trees that spans both sides of the Cascade Mountains. Within centuries-old groves that are critical refugia in a time of climate crisis, these winged messengers show us a better way to steward our threatened landscapes. Just as a forest transitions upward from understory to midstory to overstory, so too does the trajectory of Richie’s life—from the protective cover of adolescence to the precarious yet light-filled canopy of adulthood.\nRichie’s love for the wilds unfurls in poetic phrasing, and her call to protect our last old-growth trees is resounding and clear.\nA narrative of perception change, memoir, and kinship, Feathered Forest is a soaring ode to birds and wild trees.\n“A lyrical new book . . .the author spins a story web out of ecology, bird behavior, discussions with forest and bird researchers, and her own observations . . .All make this perfect for sampling chapter by chapter and learning about connections we never considered before.”—Booklist\n\nMarina Richie is an award-winning nature writer with a passion for birds and wild places. Her book Halcyon Journey: In Search of the Belted Kingfisher received the 2024 John Burroughs Medal for distinguished natural history writing, a 2022 National Outdoor Book Award, and a Foreword Indies Award. Through prose and poetry, Marina seeks to bridge the divide separating people from nature. Her essays, blogs, and poems appear in popular and literary magazines. Marina has a master’s degree in journalism from the University of Montana and an undergraduate degree in biology from the University of Oregon. She lives in Bend, Oregon, with her husband Wes and tends a bird-friendly yard.\n\nAbout Third Place Books\nFounded in 1998 in Lake Forest Park, Washington, Third Place Books is dedicated to the creation of a community around books and the ideas inside them.
