Cousins in Conservation

Cousins Susie Spikol and Deborah Lee Luskin were both born in New York, both grew up on pavement, and have now been living in northern New England for decades. Join us as they discuss how they followed different paths to similar ends: a deep love for the northern forest, language and stories. Susie is the Director of Community Programs for the Harris Center for Conservation Educations, a writer, educator and naturalist; She has taught thousands of children and adults to love frogs, fairies and the outdoors. Deborah is a writer, educator and deer hunter. Susie is the author of three books: The Animal Adventurers Guide, Forest Magic for Kids, and the Book of Fairies. Deborah is the author of two: Reviving Artemis: The Making of a Huntress, a memoir, which tells the story of how she learned to read the landscape by following the deer and Into the Wilderness, a novel which won the Independent Publishers Gold Medal for Regional Fiction.
