We are well underway with Forests 50, The Forest History Society's new initiative to capture, protect, and share the pivotal stories and records that document the transformation of North American forests over the past 50 years. Recently, FHS Oral & Public Historian Emma Kiser and Program Manager Josephine McRobbie were honored to travel to Washington to interview renowned forest ecologist Dr. Jerry Franklin. In addition to a sit-down oral history interview, the FHS crew and videographer @erinoliviamedia joined Dr. Franklin and his wife Edith on a recorded hike of old-growth site Cedar Flats Research Natural Area. We'll be sharing more as the Forests 50 project progresses!
