Meet Michael Wojtech

Michael Wojtech spent his childhood roaming the pine barrens of southern New Jersey. After a 15 year career in business he decided to pursue his love of natural history and writing. He earned his Master’s Degree in Conservation Biology from Antioch University New England, where he edited the journal Whole Terrain. His thesis at Antioch on tree bark became the basis for his newly released book, Bark: A Field Guide to Trees of the Northeast.

Michael is a freelance writer, teacher, illustrator, and photographer. His main focus is trees, but he encounters many other aspects of natural history that he can’t help but dive into. He lives with his family, tucked into the woods of western Massachusetts.
