Forest Under Siege: the Story of Old Growth After Gifford Pinchot

Author Rand Schenk takes us on a journey through a century of forestry history, told through the dramatic story of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest—where the U.S. Forest Service once aimed to log every last stand of old growth. Discover how shifting science, public values, and urgent environmental realities have brought us to a turning point: the Forest Service is now rewriting the Northwest Forest Plan to protect these ancient trees. Why? Because old growth is a powerhouse for biodiversity, a living vault for carbon, and a crucial ally in our fight against the climate crisis.
