After a couple years as an undergrad student in forestry at Washington State University, Al Levno made his way as a “young, green kid” to the Andrews Forest in 1963 where he became a research technician for Jack Rothacher and Dick Fredriksen running the experimental watershed studies and anything else that needed doing. He was noted for his high standards for data quality and strong work ethic, which he passed on to the many people who worked for him over the years. He also left an important legacy of photography in the forest of both technical documentation and more artistic genres.
