Salmon in the Trees: Life in Alaska’s Tongass Rain Forest

Salmon in the Trees: Life in Alaska’s Tongass Rain Forest
Salmon in the Trees tells the remarkable story of the Tongass rain forest, where trees grow salmon, and salmon grow trees. Fringing the coastal panhandle of Alaska and covering thousands of islands in the Alexander Archipelago, the Tongass is one of the rarest ecosystems on earth. Humpback whales, orcas, and sea lions cruise the forested shorelines. Millions of wild salmon swim upstream into the forest feeding an abundance of bears and bald eagles. Native cultures and local communities benefit from the gifts of both the forest and the sea.

Join acclaimed nature photographer and author Amy Gulick as she paddles and treks among the bears, misty islands, and salmon streams to document the intricate connections within the Tongass. Her book, Salmon in the Trees: Life in Alaska’s Tongass Rain Forest, is a 2011 Nautilus Book Award winner and a 2010 Independent Publisher Book Award winner.
