Dave inspired and mentored many conservationists in his half-century career. He led by example and was uncompromising in his advocacy and defense of wild places and wild life. This book is a compilation from some of his friends and admirers, and the words of those with whom he worked from the late 1960s until his untimely death testify to his influence, his growth, and the reach of his work. He was not able to write his memoir, which he would have titled Wildeor, which he called free, wild, untamed creatures living in nature. Among those offering tributes are writer Terry Tempest Williams, prominent conservation biologist Reed Noss, author and aural historian Jack Loeffler, and Dave’s long-time right-hand man in all endeavors, now Executive Director of The Rewilding Institute, John Davis.
Susan Morgan enjoyed a long career as a conservationist, serving many years as president of The Rewilding Institute. John C. Miles, environmental educator and historian, taught Environmental Studies at Western Washington University for over four decades. Both are now retired in Taos, New Mexico.

About the Author
John C. Miles taught for over four decades at Huxley College of the Environment (now titled The College of the Environment at Western Washington University), for over four decades. He has worked on conservation issues, mostly in the Pacific Northwest, since the late 1960s, especially park and wilderness issues in the North Cascades. Author and/or editor of seven books, he has served on the boards of many environmental education and conservation organizations, the NPCA, The Rewilding Institute, and North Cascades Institute among them, and for a decade he was the General Public Member of the Washington Forest Practices Board which is charged with regulating the private timber industry in that state. In retirement, he lives near Taos in northern New Mexico with his wife and colleague, Susan Morgan.
