When a shattered kayak and camping gear are found on an uninhabited island, they reignite a mystery surrounding a shocking act of protest. Five months earlier, logger-turned-activist Grant Hadwin had plunged naked into a river in British Columbia's Queen Charlotte Islands, towing a chainsaw. When his night's work was done, a unique Sitka spruce, 165 feet tall and covered with luminous golden needles, teetered on its stump. Two days later it fell.

I enjoyed the story of the golden spruce. The book gives good background to varying generations of loggers, local tribes and of course the Spruce.
“800 years to grow and 25 minutes to cut down” really puts into perspective how invaluable our wooded resources are. Yet as the book goes into there have been early “environmentalists” publishing such a forecast 100’s of years before.
