Visiting author probes effects of B.C.'s '90s beetle mania in 'Cambium Blue'

Cambium Blue’s story is set in 1994 at the beginning of the bark beetle epidemic that ultimately destroyed millions of acres of pine forest in western North America.

Author Maureen Brownlee has two readings at Gibsons and District Public Library on June 10, with more appearances to follow in Powell River and Courtenay.
