A book has just been published that I feel should be read by any and every one who is involved in forestry related issues. It is: FROM THE REDWOOD FOREST Ancient Trees And The Bottom Line: A Headwaters Journey, Joan Dunning, photographs by Doug Thron. This book is a highly informed, comprehensive and, at the same time, very personal journey. It is beautifully written and the photographs by Doug Thron are powerful, the cover photo alone is worth the price of the book. Doug Thron has chronicled on film the life and death of the Headwaters for years. Without permission I will quote a small passage: "The destruction of Headwaters is a personal issue.It is about the children who sleep in the bedrooms of our own houses.It is about the children we hold to our hearts and nurture to reach adulthood on a dying planet.It is about finally saying, 'Enough!' to people who accumulate more wealth than they can possibly count or comprehend in a sick corporate game of 'bottom line'. This is the story of one person's journey behind the scenes of the destruction of one of the most magnificent ecosystems on Earth."
