Russ Mitchell Oral History Interview - Part 1

Dublin Core

Title

Russ Mitchell Oral History Interview - Part 1

Description

After growing up in western Oregon with parents who worked for the State Forestry Department, Russ Mitchell arrived at Andrews Forest as a sophomore forestry student at OSU in 1953, the summer when the renaming from Blue River Experimental Forest was formalized. He worked with many of the early researchers and fellow students at the forest, including Roy Silen, Hank Gratkowski, and Mike Kerrick, as they laid out timber sales and conducted studies. After that first year at Andrews Forest he moved into entomology and worked for the PNW Station in that capacity elsewhere in the region, except for a few occasions when he could find an excuse to return – and even put in a study plot.
