At the Forest's Edge: Memoir of a Physician-Naturalist

"David Hellyer - physician, naturalist, world traveler, horseman, boxing enthusiast, and creator of Northwest Trek wildlife sanctuary - has lived one of the most varied and useful lives of anyone I know. His memoirs reflect the dry humor, the astonishing range of expertise, and the combination of charm, creativity, and energy that have made his careers possible". - Murray Morgan, author of "Skid Road". "His richly anecdotal story is a valuable contribution to the history of the Pacific Northwest". - Victor B. Scheffer, author of "The Shaping of Environmentalism in America". "During the past century, many great men with passion and spirit have made an effort to help preserve the wildlife on our planet. David Hellyer is one of these men. His book, "At the Forest's Edge", is a great collection of remembrances of his life, leading up to the opening of the Northwest Trek Wildlife Park in Washington State. His enduring memories of times, places, and people make for a fascinating tale". - Charles R. Faust, Zoological Society of San Diego.
