Donna Matrazzo is the science writer behind dozens of the public reports and white papers that have guided Portland's public discourse about green planning and healthy urban environments.  Her work has appeared on PBS, in numerous publications, and in national parks and museums around the country.  Now, in Wild Things, she tells her own story--of her coming-of-age as a grassroots activist, and of being inside the growth of Portland's renowned greenspaces movement. Award-winning author Barbara J. Scot says, "Donna Matrazzo's writing reflects a rare sensitivity to the complexity of environmental activism and the special courage needed to stand up within one's immediate community.  Wild Things is both poignant and practical, a personal journey through familiar land-use battles."  Join us for a book talk and Q&A with this local writer who has quietly influenced so much of what we take for granted about our city.
