In this thoroughly revised edition, Tim McNulty returns his gaze to the Olympic National Park. By examining the effects of global warming and its rapid changes throughout the region alongside current archaeological discoveries that shed new light on the early peoples of the peninsula, McNulty brings together our past and our future.
McNulty also tells the stories of the Park's animal populations. From marmots and black bears to the prospect of reintroducing wolves, he then looks at the resurgence of bald eagles, peregrine falcons, and the burgeoning sea otter populations rejuvenating the coastal ecosystems. Finally, the restoration of the Elwha River, the removal of salmon-blocking dams, and salmon recovery efforts across the peninsula are bringing wildlife back to the wilderness.
Tim McNulty is a poet, nature writer, and conservationist who has long been active in Northwest literary and environmental communities. His poems are published in journals and anthologies in the U.S. and abroad; his esays and articles on forests, wildlife, and conservation have appeared in numerous anthologies, magazines, and newspapers, and his books have been translated into German, Chinese, and Japanese.
"One of the best ways to learn about the Olympic National Forest ...is to read Tim McNulty's natural history guide...He creates a portrait of the park from coast to rain forest and snow-covered peaks in his usual graceful style, weaving stories of science and history and nature." --Everett Herald
