The Place in the Forest

A number of years ago, R.D. Lawrenceacquired a patch of Ontario wilderness, soon known as "The Place." Here Lawrence and his wife built a cabin and became immersed in studying the ways of the wild. "The Place" was home to a variety of wildlife, from black bears, wolves, beavers and raccoons through to hawks, snapping turtles and singing mice.

Lawrence x2019;s desire to learn, fuelled by his keen observation, led to his writing about and photographing life within his small corner of the forest x2013; the result being a warm, witty account of change and survival in the natural world.
