Book Launch with Kevin Van Tighem

Join conservationist and wildlife writer Kevin Van Tighem for the launch of his memoir 'Understory: An Ecologist’s Memoir of Loss and Hope'.

Drawing on a lifetime spent in the wilds of western Canada’s national parks and years of conservation work, Kevin Van Tighem reflects on a career spent protecting the natural world and the emotional toll of witnessing its decline. Freed from bureaucratic constraints after retirement, he turned to writing, activism, and politics, driven by a sense of duty to the landscapes and species he loves. But alongside his commitment to action came profound grief and the pressing question: how do we find hope amid environmental loss?

Written with the lyricism of a naturalist and the candour of a seasoned storyteller, 'Understory' invites readers to confront their own relationships with nature and consider how they, too, can find purpose and hope in uncertain times.
