David Garrick, aka Walrus Oakenbough, possessed a rare fearlessness in the face of danger in his work as an eco-warrior, journalist and mystic. Garrick participated in high profile activist campaigns beginning in the early 1970s including Greenpeace's inaugural whale and Harp seal campaigns. Garrick was a visionary who understood the need to bring disparate groups of ecologically and environmentally concerned people together to create a powerful voice. His experiences at Wounded Knee in 1973 strengthened his resolve to coordinate Aboriginal concerns within the context of larger environmental issues. This biography highlights Garrick's rich mystical life, which began in childhood with visions of unearthly beings and permeated all of his activities. His life's work culminated in documenting thousands of culturally modified trees in coordination with local First Nations and played a critical role in halting logging on Hanson island.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCatherine Marie Gilbert is an award-winning author, photographer, historian and lecturer with a passionate interest in life on the west coast.
