Born Of Fire And Rain: Journey Into A Pacific Coastal Forest, With Oregon Author Peg Herring!
An absolute gem of a conversation with Oregon author M.L. Herring about her new book, “Born of Fire and Rain: Journey Into a Pacific Coastal Forest”.
Born of Fire and Rain is one of the best books I’ve ever read on our bioregion. It is a masterfully guided hike through virtually every aspect of the Pacific Coastal rainforests, seamlessly weaving in geology, ecology, timber politics, personal narrative, and more into a beautiful tapestry of this place we call home.
M.L. is the pen name of Oregon State University professor emerita Peg Herring, and I am so delighted have her on the show today.
Before we get started, I have to give my usual housekeeping: Coast Range Radio is free on all podcast apps, which is a great way to share this episode with a friend or two!
