Evergreen Magazine is a step above any other forestry periodical, but occasionally Jim publishes a super issue, one that is truly archival. The latest issue, Winter 2005-2006, is one such ground-breaking, deeply insightful, historic work. Entitled Forestry in Indian Country: Models of Sustainability for Our Nation?s Forests? the new issue examines forestry as practiced by Native Americans on tribal reservations and compares it to forestry practiced on our National Forests. It is a superb collection of essays, expert reports, and stunning photography (many by Larry Workman of the Quinault Nation).
I thought I would upchuck over this one when I read it, I was blowing coffee through my nose. In the time I lived in Central Oregon, the Warm Springs reservation had 3 big fires, one was 50,000 acres. 
The Quinault lands are a friggin Rain Forest!

Our nation is renowned for its magnificent forests and superb salmon and steelhead runs. The dense woods that once provided family longhouses, clothing, baskets and huge ocean going canoes, now supply the raw wood for our handcrafted gift boxes.
Keep it up Rosie.
