Roy Wu, Oregon Department of Forestry

Fellows interviewed Roy Wu and learned about his experience working with the Oregon Department of Forestry. Roy was deputy state forester from April 2000 until his retirement in March 2004 and was responsible for staffing and organization of the Oregon Department of Forestry's (http://egov.oregon.gov/ODF/) field operations and offices. He exercised leadership during the 2002 fire season, the most severe in recent history (http://www.fs.fed.us/r6/rogue-siskiyou/biscuit-fire/index.shtml), by providing statewide strategic focus and directing resource priorities. As deputy he worked closely with forest landowners to reorganize a portion of western Oregon field operations.
