Nora Saks is a freelance radio and print journalist investigating themes of environmental justice in the Crown of the Continent and beyond.
She's currently a graduate student in the University of Montana's Environmental Science and Natural Resource Journalism Masters Program.
Having lived both north and south of the 49th parallel, she's inclined to use the term "bioregion" a little too frequently when describing her interest in exploring boundaries based on ecology rather than politics.
