Door County’s beauty inspires the imagination. In a new book, titled “A Shoreline at the Edge: Door County’s Lakeside Forests and Wetlands,” photographer Paul M. Lurie captures the imagination with a series of stunning aerial photographs taken from above the Lake Michigan shoreline. His photographs show the transition from forest to farm field, from wilderness to development. And, upon closer look, they show where Door County’s dark evergreen conifer boreal forests hug the cooler climate areas of the shoreline.

Paul Lurie’s photographs beg the question of how to protect the uniqueness of Door County as we lose wilderness habitat to development and as our boreal forests are visibly transitioning in response to climate change. Former executive director of The Ridges Sanctuary, Steve Leonard, and Door County Land Trust’s director of charitable giving, Cinnamon Rossman, co-authored the narrative and captions that accompany Paul Lurie’s photographs. They narrate Lurie’s photographs with history that spans from geologic times to present, adding ecological and scientific facts throughout.

The final result is a book that will deepen an appreciation for the Door Peninsula, its islands, and surrounding waters. Ultimately, it serves as a call to action—for the preservation of Door County’s remarkable wilderness and forests, and for taking bold action against climate change that threatens these lands.

In partnership with WriteOn Door County and the Climate Change Coalition, Door County Land Trust will host readings, Q&A, and signing with the photographer and authors.

Please note that due to a shipping delay, all book signing events will be rescheduled at a later date.
