For many years Tony Eberts wrote a weekly outdoors column for the Province newspaper. His spirited writings in defense of wild places helped attract many to the BC environment movement including the Wilderness Committee's Joe Foy. This is Tony's second book. "Back when BC's Adams Lake was mostly wilderness, my father took his family to a remote homestead there so he could take the starring role of pioneer, hunter, angler, trapper and builder in a backwoods drama. These are some childhood memories of that 13 year reality show." Paperback 180 pages, black and white 5 1/2 " x 8 1/2" ISBN 1-895123-29-1

This report was jointly prepared by Sierra Legal Defence Fund (now known as Ecojustice) and the Wilderness Committee. The report chronicles the plight of the endangered northern spotted owl in BC, the provincial government has avoided habitat protection for these rare birds and many other species at risk. In addition to identifying key threats and developments in efforts to recover this species, In Defence of Canada's Spotted Owl also includes recommendations about the next steps that are urgently needed to ensure proper habitat so these endangered owls have a chance at recovery.
