Deep in the thickets of North America's most ancient woodland, timber poachers are felling some of the last remaining old-growth on our continent. Redwoods, cedar, and Douglas fir trees are all victims of poaching. Stealing timber is a lucrative crime. This book follows a group of poachers into the backwoods of the Pacific Northwest, tracking cases of timber poaching from crime to market. In her page-turning and compassionate account, Lyndsie Bourgon opens our eyes to why a person might choose to endanger the ancient, wild landscapes we have worked so hard to protect.
