Coast Range Radio is a radio show and podcast that holds conversations with inspiring individuals dedicated to creating a better world, produced by the Coast Range Association, and hosted by Michael Gaskill. 

On this episode, an absolute gem of a conversation with Oregon author M.L. Herring about her new book, “Born of Fire and Rain: Journey Into a Pacific Coastal Forest”.  

Born of Fire and Rain is one of the best books I’ve ever read on our bioregion.  It is a masterfully guided hike through virtually every aspect of the Pacific Coastal rainforests, seamlessly weaving in geology, ecology, timber politics, personal narrative, and more into a beautiful tapestry of this place we call home.

M.L. is the pen name of Oregon State University professor emerita Peg Herring, and I am so delighted to have her on the show today.  Born of Fire and Rain is available at bookstores throughout the northwest, or check out:  https://www.mlherring.org/
