Toronto Heritage Book Award




Book Award
My recent book, Accidental Wilderness, co-authored with Walter Kehm was recently awarded this honor.

"The Spit is miraculous and amazing, growing out of Toronto like a volcanic island. Accidental Wilderness is a stunningly beautiful and hopeful book that captures with writing that is both technical and romantic the story of how the Spit came to be and what it almost was if not for the interventions of the people who protected it." Shawn Micaleff, Spacing Magazine
