Garth's words exude the smell of the earth, beckon us into the waterfall to feel the enchantment of water and open the age-old ties between wild places and the human soul. Walking often together among ancient trees I've witnessed the elemental power of Garth's words to forge new connections between forest and visitor. I delight in this new volume. -- Mia Monroe, Head of Visitor Interpretation, Muir Woods National Monument -personal letter-
