“Teachers in the Forest holds power and inspiration ... it has a way of further opening your eyes and ears to the sights and sounds of wilderness ... appealing to us to recognize not just our responsibility to nature, but our place in it.” —Minneapolis Star Tribune

“Begin reading at any point in Teachers in the Forest and you will discover a calm curiosity towards the natural world. Babcock’s voice inspires with rich lessons on the history, culture, plants and animals of our wild places. The teachings in this collection are like the wolf; timeless and alive.” —Maureen Hackett, MD, Founder and President of Howling for Wolves

“The teachings contained within this book belong to the author’s decades afield as both hunter and self-provider and are also strongly influenced by his close ties to the Ojibwe people and their connection to the land and its animals.”  —Traditional Bowhunter Magazine

"Babcock understands where true wisdom comes from, where to find it. With humility, he turns to the earth and all its living beings, the teachings of the Seven Grandfathers that his friend Larry Stillday, an Anishinaabe tribal member, introduces him to. In clear and compelling prose, Babcock tells story after story of his home ground in Minnesota, of wolves and trumpeter swans and cranes and bear, and we fortunate readers are given a glimpse of wildness and wilderness, a chance to fall in love again and to learn from the first teachers.  —Todd Davis, author of Coffin Honey and Native Species

“This book is a deeply poetic account of one man’s quest to live off the land and his battle-cry to protect it.” —Julia Huffman, Director of Medicine of the Wolf and Wolf Spirit

"This book will heighten the way you interpret and value our remaining wild places.” —Daniel J. Rice, author of The Unpeopled Season

“Babcock is a curious, persistent, conscientious man who cares deeply about the land.” —Katie Carter, KAXE Radio

“This book is a powerful tool for anyone yearning to forge a stronger spiritual and physical relationship with wild nature, no matter where you live.” —David Petersen, author of On the Wild Edge: In Search of A Natural Life
