The Thin Green Line

Description

The commercialization of wildlife generates a staggering amount of money each year. It is second only to the illicit drug trade. Unfortunately, and all too often, crimes against wildlife are looked upon as “victimless” and do not receive the same degree of attention as those involving drugs. Poaching, heart-pounding chases & searches, lonely vigils, and resolving human/wildlife conflicts are just a few of the activities a wildlife officer is involved with. Spanning the 20-year career of a Pennsylvania game warden, “The Thin Green Line” is a gripping, true account of what it was like to enforce the Game and Wildlife Code in rural northeastern Pennsylvania from 1987 until 2007.

“Many of the author’s encounters with poachers were harrowing to say the least, and you’ll feel like you were riding right beside him as he weaves his stories in well-written, vivid detail about his life as a wildlife warrior. Larnerd does an excellent job of writing about the daily trials and tributes of a wildlife conservation officer in rural, upstate Pennsylvania.” Penn’s Woods Publications
