Upon arrival in Colorado he co-authored his first book, a collection of nature-infused poems peddled on the streets of Boulder. He soon launched a multi-year poetry-writing marathon, living in a remote off-the-grid cabin at the site of an old mining town called Bear River near Steamboat Springs, where he fully heard the call of the wild. Later, establishing a homestead in the nearby Elk River Valley, he co-founded and edited multiple publications, most notably the Steamboat Springs Review, a free alternative newspaper in which he first published The Adventures of Zee beginning in 1989. The newspaper received the local Environment 2000 Shining Star Award in 1995 for its “Commitment to Environmental Responsibility.” Vacariu continued focusing his writing and energy on Nature conservation, spending the next two decades as a communications specialist and grassroots organizer for Wildlands Network, where he created and directed a large coalition of conservation groups working to connect wild habitats in the Rocky Mountains. He continues to serve on boards of directors for nature-protection organizations, and lately claims he is scheming new ways to save what’s left of Nature in a future that is happening now.view less
