The boreal forest, a vast northern wilderness that encircles the globe, is three times the size of the Amazon, has the photosynthetic output of over a trillion trees, and is within a day’s drive of major urban centers such as New York City, Chicago, Vancouver, and Moscow, and within an hour of Montreal.

Critics Review
“This is a truly remarkable book about one of the most important–and little known–landscapes on planet Earth. It’s not an overstatement to say that much of our planet’s future depends on what happens in this terrain, and it’s never been more powerfully depicted than in these pages.” –Bill McKibben, author of Here Comes the Sun
“Multiple decades in the making, Rob Mullen and his colleagues present a comprehensive and visually extravagant ode to the most extensive and still intact forest/water ecosystem on our planet. This book also is the most exhilarating expression of art, science, dramatic storytelling, cultural integration, and conservation values that I have ever encountered.” –John W. Fitzpatrick, PhD, director emeritus of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology
“Boreal Wilderland is a marvel that more than matches the scale and grandeur of the immense and rugged land it explores through magnificent art and thoughtful words. The boreal, the world’s largest intact forest and the beating heart of the North, comes alive in this gorgeous book.” –Scott Weidensaul, author of The Return of the Oystercatcher
“Spectacular photos and paintings; riveting expedition tales. Unlike most coffee-table books, this is one you WILL want to read! No one writes books like this anymore. The stories really set this book above the coffee-table crowd.” –Cliff Jacobson, leading canoeing writer and winner of the American Canoe Association’s Legends of Paddling Award
“Rob Mullen’s Boreal Wilderland is a masterful blend of camera and canvas, and science and resourcefulness, encompassing our rich boreal treasure. To be in a canoe charged by a grizzly while ready to fire upon him and to then photograph his sudden retreat is the full measure of one who treasures our boreal bounty with a highly earned respect.” –Michael Peake, award-winning photojournalist and former governor of the Hide-Away Canoe Club
