O knihe

When nature regains its splendor...

Nature brings us a cloak of warmth and serenity to soothe our souls. Nothing could ever bring peace to our hearts more than the calming magnificence of the wild. Author James Harris invites you to celebrate the wonder of overlapping ecological niches within his acreage through the photographic images and narrative of Being Wild, a thirty-year story of the restoration of a totally destroyed habitat in Oregon.

All he ever wanted was to be a part of the natural world. A tour of duty in the Submarine Service etched his desire to be outdoors into his soul. After the military he tried working in the family business, but deeply desired to free himself from the intricacies of corporate life and enjoy nature.

His yearning for the outdoors led him to purchase a seventy-six acre parcel of land, which was affordable because it had been sorely abused. Through decades of hard work, this place has become a thriving and viable wildlife habitat - and home for many, many native wild species.

Harris' years of observing his environment have taught him to comprehend the many facets of the food cycle and given him the understanding needed to enhance individual habitats as he witnessed animals playing their respective roles in various over-lapping food chains.

Being Wild allows the reader to witness Harris' encounters and challenges as he narrates experiences on the creation of a sustainable wildlife sanctuary.

Learn more about animals and their needs as you get a glimpse of their world - from their perspective.

Discover the beauty this land once lost in Being Wild.
