Chris Czajkowski is an experienced and entertaining speaker who has been amusing packed auditoriums in British Columbia and Alberta for the last twenty years. Her hosts have included garden groups, women's groups, museums, naturalist groups, libraries, writers festivals and hiking clubs. Notable venues have been: |
- Vandusen Gardens
- Vancouver Central Library
- BC Federation of Naturalists AGM dinner speaker
- Sechelt Festival of the Written Arts
Her photography is of sufficient standard to be used in magazine articles and books to illustrate her work. All images on the web site, bar the portrait, are also hers.
The talks describe Chris' wilderness life: how she built her own cabins single-handedly and copes with life on a high-altitude, fly-in lake at least a day-and-a-half's walk from the nearest road. The slides are changed for each group to reflect the audience's interest. Chris' expertise is the alpine plants of her area and botany lovers will be delighted with her colourful portrayal of her "back yard."
Chris asks for accommodation and a fee of $150 to $250, depending what the group can afford. Venues should hold at least 40 people; preferred venues are 100 or more.

Radio Interview with Chris on CBC Daybreak North - October 27, 2008
A new book for the fall of 2012: GINTY'S GHOST
Ginty Paul was an outrageously eccentric spinster who occupied the proeperty where i now live during the winters. It is not far from Nuk Tessli but more easily accessible, being only 4 km off Highway 20. I have been writing a lot about this place on my blog, www.wildernessdweller.ca . The new book is about both Ginty and my efforts to establish myself there - yes, I am building again! An extensive slide show tour is planned. Below is the 2010 slide show tour which will give you some idea of what i am trying to arrange. Any contacts with librarians or nature groups would be very helpful.
