Meer over het boek
Timber workers are often misunderstood as mere economic players in environmental debates, yet their connection to the forests is deeply rooted in personal and cultural values. Steven C. Beda delves into the lives of these communities, revealing how activities like hunting and foraging foster a profound sense of place. This emotional bond influences their perspectives on forest protection, sometimes leading to conflicts with environmentalists and employers. Beda's exploration highlights the timber workers' fight as a quest to safeguard both their livelihoods and their identity tied to the land.
