"Wild Things is the amazing tale of Donna Matrazzo's coming of age as a grassroots activist and a behind-the-scenes look at the evolution of Portland, Oregon's renowned greenspaces movement by somebody who was there from the start. It is a wonderful story that will inspire a new generation of activists, wherever they may live, to get involved and protect the wild things and wild places that surround them." -Bob Sallinger, Conservation Director, Audubon Society of Portland "Each of these stories is like a different bird by which hope for the future of Sauvie Island, and so the rest of the world, lifts off the page in a way the reader can take guidance in changing what she or he cannot swallow." -Sharon Wood Wortman, author, The Portland Bridge Book
