Ecologist and author Anne LaBastille shows us her home in the wilderness

Anne LaBastille (1933-2011) lived in the deep wilderness of the Adirondacks for decades. Here she takes Derek Muirden of People Near Here to explore the area she calls home.

Anne was such an amazing person! I’m glad I got to meet her and her precious pups. We corresponded for years and I’m sorry that dementia robbed her of her final years.

What ever happened to her writing cabin? She was so lovely. I met her in Elizabethtown, NY, She had come to sign that very book she read from. I was so intimidated by her mere presence, because at then age 26ish, she was and is a shero. She let me pet her dogs and she was ok with them liking me.
