‘Woodswoman’ Anne LaBastille dies at 75Anne LaBastille, author, photographer and renowned Adirondack guide, passed away on Friday, July 1, 2011, in Plattsburgh. She was 75.
Born in Montclair, N.J. on Nov. 20, 1935, she achieved a Bachelor of Science degree in conservation of natural resources from Cornell University in 1955, and a Master of Science degree in wildlife management from Colorado State University in 1961. She earned a Ph.D. in wildlife ecology in 1969 at Cornell and was later awarded an Honorary Doctor of Letters degree from Ripon College in Wisconsin.
In the early 1970s, after building a small log cabin on a remote lake near Old Forge, she became a licensed guide and began offering backpacking and canoe trips throughout the Adirondacks. Her efforts as a guide and outdoor writer served to popularize and reinvigorate a nearly defunct occupation.
