Salmon in the Trees
There's no place like it on Earth!
The Tongass rain forest in Southeast Alaska is one of the rarest ecosystems on Earth. Mountains rise from the sea, and bald eagles, grizzly bears and all five species of Pacific salmon call this area home.
Explore this rich landscape up close in Salmon in the Trees: Life in Alaska's Tongass Rain Forest.
Photographer Amy Gulick spent several years trekking, paddling and camping among bears, humpback whales and salmon-filled streams to capture these images. More than 150 photos are partnered with essays from leading scientists and conservationists. Profiles of Alaskan residents whose jobs bring them into regular contact with the Tongass, whimsical illustrations by Ray Troll, and a soundscape of Alaska on by CD by noted writer Richard Nelson bring this incredible wilderness area to life.
