H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest History Workshop - Afternoon Session

This planning discussion was held in the Forestry Sciences Laboratory in Corvallis to scope out and plan the history project which was to unfold in the context of the 50th anniversary of establishment of the experimental forest (1998). The meeting was held two years in advance of the anniversary date, but the resulting book (Max Geier’s Necessary Work) did not appear until 2007. Participants in this group interview represent a variety of disciplines and roles: Forest Service soil scientist Dyrness, University of Western Oregon historian Geier, Andrews Forest Director and OSU employee McKee, Forest Service Research Station director of communications Miner, Forest Service geologist Swanson.
