This popular lecture series about Pacific Northwest natural and cultural history began in 2007 and continues today with both online and in-person events. These fascinating topics and lively speakers make for an enjoyable and horizon-widening evening, so register today!
Join us for an evening with environmental activist and author Rand Schenck as he discusses his book, Forest Under Siege: The Story of Old Growth After Gifford Pinchot. Through the lens of forestry practices on the Gifford Pinchot National Forest—home to Mount St. Helens—Schenck explores a century of forest management in the Pacific Northwest. From early stewardship through an era of relentless logging, and ultimately toward the recovery and rebirth of old-growth forests, his work provides a visceral account of the challenges and triumphs in conserving these irreplaceable ecosystems. Don’t miss this opportunity to reflect on the legacy of Gifford Pinchot and consider the future of our National Forests.
