"The stunning images in this book evoke wonder and awe, which are essential if we are to love and fight to protect such sacred places".. - David Suzuki

SPIRIT IN THE GRASS The Cariboo-Chilcotin's Forgotten Landscape The Cariboo Chilcotin grasslands are one of the ecological wonders of the world and British Columbia's most endangered ecosystem. It covers less than 1% of the province yet supports over 30% of its threatened or endangered plant and animal species. Nominated for two 2008 BC Book Prizes

The goal of this book is to increase awareness of the grasslands' incredible beauty and ecological richness. The book is visually driven yet content rich. It contains informative natural history text written by leading ecologists Ordell Steen and Kristi Iverson, cultural history and poetry contributions written by award-winning BC writer and poet Harold Rhenisch, and a visual arts perspective written by distinguished Canadian photographer and publisher Chris Harris. The imagery is the work of Chris Harris. This book will undoubtedly become one of the most important British Columbia conservation books published to date. A percentage of book profits will be donated to the Grasslands Conservation Council of B.C.

Spirit in the Grass is the tenth book self-published by Chris Harris, in his Discover British Columbia Books™ series. The book is 224 pages; contains 215 images and approximately 60 pages of text.
