Conservation versus Preservation?

Have you ever wondered why your favorite national park is surrounded by a national forest? Well, it didn’t happen by accident or guesswork. The fact is, it was all started over 100 years ago by two men I like to refer to as the founding fathers of America’s public lands.


Back at the turn of the 20th Century Gifford Pinchot and John Muir had radically contrasting views of how to manage America’s wild lands and they worked tirelessly lobbying Congress and convincing Presidents to agree with them to start protecting open space.


Muir promoted preservation and Pinchot advocated for conservation.

Smokejumping: A quick commute

It’s that time of year when wildfire activity is increasing across the country. Have you heard of the Bear Fire, Campbell Fire, or the Blakes Fire? Most likely not because the quick response by wildland firefighters relegated these fires to the historical bin — and one of the quickest responders is the Forest Service smokejumper.

Traveling trees: Assisted migration for climate resilience

Traveling trees seem like whimsy from the science fiction or fantasy genres – like J.R.R. Tolkien’s Ents or Groot from Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. But tree species really do migrate in their own way, although it may take decades or centuries.

Finding relief in the shade: Expanding urban tree canopy for a cooler future

As temperatures continue to rise, the burning need to address harmful and often deadly heat waves is undeniable. One powerful and simple solution is to plant more trees.


Trees offer a natural respite from scorching temperatures and a range of environmental, social and economic benefits. With $1 billion from the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA), cities, towns and suburbs will soon be able to plant and maintain more trees, offering hope for a cooler and more sustainable future.
