Missoula author Donna Erickson will talk/read from her latest book Rooted at the Edge. Donna was raised riding horses, putting up hay, and herding cattle at Skyline Ranch. Her family’s nearly 1000-acre ranch lies in the North Hills at the edge of Missoula, Montana. As a young adult she ranched there and on other leased ranches in western Montana. Many decades later, her life as both a rancher and landscape planner give Donna a unique perspective on ranching at the edge of a growing western town. She wrote this book to share stories about a century of change in this iconic landscape and the threats it faces going forward.
