This week I had the privilege of sharing some of my “girl forester” stories at the John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, North Carolina. The monthly event usually features only oral storytellers, so it was an honor for this author to be invited.
The offerings ranged from funny family stories to outrageous tall tales. I told about my experiences as a junior in college at Forestry Field Day, held on the Northern Arizona University school forest. I participated in several logging events, one of which resulted in an embarrassing photo of me on the front page of the Arizona Daily Sun. I don’t have the nerve to post it here, but it will appear in my upcoming book, Girls Can’t Do That. Stay tuned!
