Along
the way, Linda has been assisted by numerous people and organizations. Below
are some links to those that have been a part of the project.
Hotel
Paraiso Del Oso – Located in the heart of the Copper Canyon Region, the Hotel Paraiso
Del Oso, and its generous proprietor Doug “Diego” Rhodes, provided great
support to Linda during her time(s) in Chihuahua. Diego was a major inspiration
for this book. A trip to Copper Canyon should include a stay at the
famous Oso! Diego’s website also contains a wealth of information about the Copper Canyon area.
Rota-Scholars
of the Copper Canyon – Supported by the various Rotary Clubs of central Chihuahua, the Rota-Scholars program was
initiated in 2006 to distribute scholarships for students of the remote Copper Canyon area. The program has partnered
with Rotary Clubs in the United States and strives to accomplish its
challenging goal of helping those most in need with educational
opportunities.
Chepe – Railroad Line – Check out the website of the
passenger rail line that goes through the Copper Canyon region for fares, schedules and
general information.
New
York Botanical Garden - The William and Lynda Steere
Herbarium at the New York Botanical Garden has Linda's flower specimens
permanently stored as part of their Mexican collection. As these
specimens are entered into their database, you can access detailed
information via the C. V. Starr Virtual Herbarium.

on the project of producing The Field
Guide of Mexico's Copper Canyon Region with Linda as the Author, the
