"William L. Finley: A Life's Work in Wildlife Conservation" - Presentation by Author Worth Mathewson

Speaker Bio: Worth Mathewson has sold articles to 42 different magazines, and has authored or compiled 12 books. He is an avid hunter, angler, trapper and birder, in no particular order. As a 6 year old living in Virginia, Worth was given a copy of Birds in America for his 6th birthday, and Bohlman and Finley’s photographs made a lasting impression. He still believes that there has never been a better photograph take of condors than the one in that book. When his family moved to Oregon in 1956, Worth was thrilled to learn that Finley lived and did much of his work in the State. Worth has been writing on outdoor subjects and natural history for 40 years, including the biography of Finley, “William L. Finley, Pioneer Wildlife Photographer.”
