Celebrate Talented People
Wild Connections has authors and photographers who give of their time and talents.
Karl Ford: Wild Connections Board member and one our climate change specialists..
Experience with Speed (aka Karl) the literal steep ups and downs, the majestic scenery, the bears, moose and wolves, the wildflowers, the rain, snow and cold, the heat and the dry, the wind, the thirst and the hunger, wildfires, injuries, -- along with the peace, the solitude and the ecstasy.
Speed is one of a very select group who has completed the Appalachian Trail, the Pacific Crest Trail and the Continental Divide Trail. Available at Amazon as an eBook for $4.99, of which Speed will donate $1 for each copy sold to Wild Connections

Lee Patton: Former Board member, long-time mapper and restoration project worker.
Lee’s poems draw on his years of hiking and scrambling among the wild and not so wild places of the west. “Patton’s sound-charged imagery dazzles as much as his metaphors startle. We hike trails, crags and canyons lit with ‘sunflash, windlash/Drizzle so cold it sizzles’…” Patricia Holloway’s review.
His poetry is set in places ranging from Wyoming’s Wind River Range to Gunsight Pass in Colorado to Riverside Cemetery in Denver. Available for $16.00 at Kelsay Books

Curt Nimz: Long time member, hiker and our go-to-expert on wild flowers and stunning scenic views of wild areas.
These painted ladies on a musk thistle were taken in Wildcat Canyon. Painted ladies are common here, and unfortunately so are invasive musk thistles. Photos like this help Wild Connections keep thistle at bay and spice up Wild News and Landscapes.
