I consider my self to be a social historian with a focus on British Columbia history, however with the release in 2021 of my history of Strathcona Provincial Park, A Journey Back to Nature, I am in danger of being labelled an environmental historian. There are worse fates, and in fact my current project centres on the life of David (Walrus) Garrick, an activist, environmentalist and eco-warrior, who was involved in Greenpeace’s early campaigns and many others throughout the 70s and 80s. Most notably, Garrick undertook an extensive study of Culturally Modified Trees on Hanson Island that prevented that island from being logged in the 1990s.
