The View From Foley Mountain is a collection of short essays celebrating the joy of living in harmony with the natural world. The seasonal selections lead you through the fields, woods, rock outcroppings and shores of the conservation area which is the author's home.

 

For nearly thirty years my husband, Barry, was supervisor of Foley Mountain, the beautiful, wild, eight hundred acre conservation area in eastern Ontario. With the job, we were required to live in an eighty-year old farmhouse, situated in the heart of the property. While there, we raised our two sons, Morgan and Jeremy, and each of us was lucky to discover our true vocation. Barry was passionately committed to teaching environmental education to thousands of school children of all ages. Rejoicing in living closely with the rocks, ponds, abandoned fields and forests of the area, I found  that I too was eager to share what I was discovering and began the writing which eventually lead to my books, The View From Foley Mountain and A Wing in the Door.
