Doris Green is a communications specialist with the School of Human Ecology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and has published Wisconsin Community Banking News magazine for the Community Bankers of Wisconsin since 1997. She has more than twenty years of previous experience in publishing and public relations for nonprofit, for-profit, and public agencies.
Explore Wisconsin Rivers is her third book for Trails Books. The two previous titles are Wisconsin Underground and Minnesota Underground. When Trails Books asked her to write a book pulling together information about the state’s most significant rivers, she couldn’t resist. While other books had been written about individual rivers or river systems, none had tackled the state as a whole. The decision to write this book led to a two-year adventure across Wisconsin by foot, canoe, car, train, helicopter and paddle wheeler.
