Base Camp: Author Rand Schenk

Activity Notes

Rand Schenck will discuss his book Forest Under Siege The Story of Old Growth After Gifford Pinchot. He will examine 100 years of Pacific Northwest forestry, through the lens of forestry practices on the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. This volume offers his visceral perspective on the decades of stewardship, the period of relentless harvest, and the move toward the rebirth of old growth. Rand has worked for the Sierra Club, Oregon Natural Resources Defense Council - now Oregon Wild, and he helped found 350PDX and Mobilizing Climate Action Together (MCAT) which works to implement climate smart forestry. Copies of his book will be available at the presentation.
