The Language of Landscape

Our occasional series on the magic of the American landscape. Today we feature a biologist’s conception of boreal forest.

Living on Earth continues its series with readings from the book “Home Ground: Language for an American Landscape,” edited by Barry Lopez and Debra Gwartney. In this installment, Eva Saulitis, a writer, teacher and marine biologist from Homer, Alaska, explores the term “boreal forest”.
