Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Protecting Quimper Lost Wilderness
Q: Steve, just briefly share the story of how you stumbled upon this lost wilderness.
Steve Grace explains he discovered the Quimper Lost Wilderness after moving to Cape George and exploring the area, where he encountered a grove of trees that seemed different from the surrounding second growth forest.
James Swan, Pioneer Extraordinaire
Q: What would you suggest people read to learn more about James Swan's life?
I recommend reading 'The Northwest Coast' by Swan, as it tells his story in his own words, along with 'Swan Among the Indians' by Lucille MacDonald.
James Swan, Pioneer Extraordinaire
Q: What inspired Swan to come to the Pacific Northwest?
Part of it was his wife encouraging him to make something of himself, but he was also motivated by stories from his uncle about the fascinating Pacific Northwest area.
James Swan, Pioneer Extraordinaire
Q: How did you first become fascinated with James Swan?
I was asked by the Director of the Historical Society to put together a cemetery tour for the Victorian Festival, and I ended up portraying James Swan when no one else did.
Quimper Lost Wilderness
Q: Why is it important to you or the community to have these kinds of places?
Steve emphasizes the forest's role as a living museum and classroom for ecological education, and its value for human connection with nature.
