An overview of federal forest management and the forest defense movement--from the creation of the National Forest Management Act to the timber wars, the NW Forest Plan, the Salvage Rider--as well as covering many of the current proposed policy changes by the Trump Administration--from the Roadless Rule rescission to the NWFP revision and Trump's timber focused Executive Orders.
Seth Zuckerman will bring us down to earth as an ecological forestry practitioner and writer with a focus on Pacific Northwest forests, including within the local Kitsap/West Sound context. He will speak about how to manage trees for sustainable wood harvest as well as recreation, inspiration, and a range of cultural connections.
