Travels Up the Creek: A Biologist’s Search for a Paddle

Biologist and author, Lorne Fitch

Lorne Fitch is a prolific writer, sharing memories of his childhood and also his long career as a biologist in Alberta, Canada. I have had the pleasure of reading much of his work, which he willingly shares with us at the Alberta Wilderness Association. His work is frequently featured in our quarterly journal the Wild Lands Advocate.

His latest book will be published on November 5, 2024. You can pre-order now on Rocky Mountain Books, and Indigo. I highly recommend this latest installation! 📗⭐

"Travels Up the Creek provides a perceptive view of environmental dilemmas in Alberta. This book successfully builds upon Fitch's previous book, Streams of Consequence. The author's extensive experience becomes evident through his fulsome descriptions and humorous anecdotes interlaced with cautionary tales. Everyone, no matter their prior knowledge of the topics covered, will learn something about Alberta's history and its approach to conservation through reading this book. I never tire of Fitch's candid storytelling." --Debborah Donnelly, Executive Director, Alberta Wilderness Association
