This Rough Magic: At Home on the Columbia Slough
by Nancy Henry While thousands trek in the Gorge and Forest Park, an undiscovered forest and wetland thrives in Portland, hidden behind warehouses and highways. Take a journey with Campbell and Henry into this rough and magical place, where fifteen years ago, the couple decamped to a log cabin among the beavers and egrets. Theirs is a lush tale of learning about, advocating for, and explaining the mysteries of Portland's most hidden natural landscape, the wet and wild Columbia Slough. |
