Wrong Tree: Adventures in Wildlife Biology

During his 30+ year career in wildlife management, Jeff Wilson found himself atop eagle nests, deep in bear dens, tracking furbearers on snow covered forest roads, and spending nights under the stars banding loons. His adventures (or misadventures) in wildlife biology, are incredibly informative, entertaining, and occasionally hilarious. These stories communicate a deep passion for wildlife and its future in a changing world.

Review :
"Jeff 's wild and often amusing lifestyle, captured in this book, shows that he is the last of a breed. But our movement, environmentalism, is not dying and Jeff offers a beacon for the next generation to preserve its ties to the land." -Rocky Barker, Pulitzer Prize Finalist, author of Scorched Earth: How the Fires of Yellowstone Changed America "As a DNR Wildlife Technician, Jeff Wilson spent 21 years banding ospreys, helping manage beavers, dealing with bears and so much more. His love for animals began during his growing-up years on an Iowa farm when he had wild animals as pets. Especially memorable was his pet fox, Zorro. Here is a well-written story of love for the outdoors and especially its wildlife." -Jerry Apps, author of Whispers and Shadows "Jeff Wilson...is a world class individual and has more stories than anyone I have ever met." -Jim Paruk, author of Loon Lessons "I wouldn't have believed half of the stories in this book if I hadn't been there myself!" -John Olson, Retired Furbearer Specialist and Wildlife Biologist, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources "I always knew Jeff Wilson could tell a good story, but this book proves he can write one too." -Jeff Richter, photographer, White Deer, owner of Nature's Press "I was a fellow wildlife professional with Jeff Wilson and many of the stories touched very close to home for me. However, anyone who enjoys wildlife and the great outdoors will be captivated by the stories in Wrong Tree. Jeff 's adventures are entertaining and educational. The experiences of a real life field biologist are cleverly blended with ecological knowledge and important events in Wisconsin wildlife conservation to create wonderful stories. Terry Daulton's artwork is a valuable bonus." -Scott Craven, Professor emeritus, Wildlife Ecology, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Member, Wisconsin Conservation Hall of Fame "I loved reading Wrong Tree, but I also loved the illustrations. Great art is a perfect compliment to great stories-kudos to Terry Daulton for her fine eye!" -John Bates, Naturalist and Author, Manitowish River Press "Jeff 's book shows passionate concern for the wildlife of the Midwest, North America, and the future." -Ellen Akins, author of Home Movie, Little Woman, and Hometown Brew "Jeff 's book is an illuminating and entertaining journey of inquiry into the wonders of nature." -Tia Nelson, environmentalist, daughter of Earth Day founder Gaylord Nelson
