Author to talk wildlife wisdom at Eagle Harbor Books

California author Doniga Markegard will visit Eagle Harbor Book Company at 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 19 to discuss her new book, “Dawn Again: Tracking the Wisdom of the Wild.”

From the Pacific Northwest forests to the rugged coastal shores of California, “Dawn Again” is a memoir of exploration and survival.

In “Dawn Again,” Markegard writes of her immersion in nature in search of herself and her passions. Her search takes her hitchhiking across the West and to Alaska, where she discovers and falls deeply in love with tracking wolves and the rigors of surviving in the wilderness. At a wilderness immersion school, medicine people and wildlife trackers train her in indigenous ways.

The author seeks a vision and discovers her purpose, only to find herself on a cattle ranch falling in love and starting a family, while finding a new way to use all she has learned about the wilderness and what it has to teach us.

Markegard has a background in wildlife tracking, holistic management and permaculture.

Along with her husband, Erik, and four children, she lives on a coastal ranch in San Gregorio, California, and is passionate about finding ways to regenerate lands and community through practices that build soil, sequester carbon, capture and purify water and enhance habitat.
