Labastille, Anne

Anne LaBastille (b. Nov. 20, 1935, Montclair, N.J.-d. July 1, 2011, Plasttsburgh, N.Y.) was an ecological consultant, writer, photographer and lecturer, who obtained her Ph.D. from Cornell University in Wildlife Ecology, following an M.S. in Wildlife Management from Colorado State University and a B.S. in Conservation of Natural Resources from Cornell. She has held the post of president of West of the Wind Publications in Westport, New York. She has devoted her life to conservation of endangered wildlife, ecological studies of birds and mammals, preservation of wilderness and wildlands, international conservation projects, tropical rain forest, acid rain, and land and lake use planning. She is perhaps best known for her autobiographical Woodswoman trilogy, in which she explores her experiences building a cabin and leading a Thoreau-like existence in the Adirondacks. She was a photographer for the DOCUMERICA Project developed by the Environmental Protection Agency in the early 1970s.
