Jeffrey H Ryan is an author, adventurer, photographer, and historian. He has written several books about his outdoor exploits, his fascination with hiking trails, and the people and places found just off the beaten path. In this episode of Nature Revisited, Jeffrey returns once again to share his Ode To An Old Pine - an autobiographical recounting of formative experiences within (and about) nature, with a massive ancient pine tree acting as a symbolic pillar and centerpiece of those experiences.
