From the seat of a canoe on a 2019 solo trip on the Yukon River, Robin West had time to think back on a long life and career in Alaska. Out of that experience came a book and this talk. It's part adventure tale and part reflections on the development of national wildlife refuges in Alaska from someone who was there in that heady time when the refuges were just being created and expanded. Stories of refuges will be interwoven with adventures from the solo paddle including paddling through and camping along the Yukon during a massive wildfire.
