Fellows meet with Jim Brown


Originally uploaded by World Forest Institute.

Jim Brown, former State Forester for Oregon, met with Fellows to discuss his experiences working for ODF and the state. His extensive career spanned an important period in Oregon's forests. Jim noted that the biggest changes in forestry that he has seen over time included forester's roles becoming more politicized, federal land management moving from providing a wide variety of services to only environmental services, the increased use of public involvement, wood supply becoming more global, and the development of the sustainability concept.
