Decorah Rotary Club hosts author Erika Billerbeck

On Thursday, May 15, at 5:30 PM, Decorah Rotary Club will host an evening with Erika Billerbeck, author of “Wildland Sentinel: Field Notes from an Iowa Conversation Officer.” In her book, Erika takes readers along for the ride as she and her colleagues sift through poaching investigations, chase down sex offenders in state parks, search for fugitives in wildlife areas, haul drunk boaters to jail, perform body recoveries, and face the chaos that comes with disaster response. Using an introspective personal voice, this narrative nonfiction work weaves stories of Iowa’s natural history with a cast of unforgettable characters.

“Decorah Rotary club is pleased to host Erika Billerbeck, a 25-year Iowa Conservation officer and author of her book, ‘Wildland Sentinel’, and hear her share her experiences and perspectives on what it’s like for a woman working in a male dominated field of conservation law-enforcement,” said Mike Huinker, Decorah Rotary Club Co-President. “Folks are welcome to come and meet Erika, a Luther Graduate, and hear her story at the VFW.”

Decorah Rotary Club invites the public to attend this free event. Light refreshments will be provided, and books will be available for purchase and personalized signature by the author for $20.
