Roderick Haig-Brown was a wise, ecologically brilliant magistrate - a naturalist - who lived on the banks of the Campbell River. He fished and observed the life cycle of all the salmon species of the coast. His legacy is profound.
Today his home is used as a writers' retreat. But it is is writing that, even today, rings true. His message was simply that if there was ever a time that the salmon don't return, human-kind will be closer to its own extinction. If only we would listen.
