An accessible and inspiring collection of Olson’s most enlightening words

Sigurd F. Olson was the most beloved wilderness advocate of his generation. His renowned writings, including the nature classics “The Singing Wilderness” and “Listening Point,” evoke the singular beauty and richness of the northern woods and lakes and reveal a philosophy of preservation that is as eloquent and relevant today as when he first wrote. The wilderness was the spring of happiness in Olson’s life, and he devoted himself to the pursuit of sharing this magic with others and ensuring its future existence.
