H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest Site Visit Group Oral History Interview - Part 1

H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest Site Visit Group Oral History Interview - Part 1

Participants in this group conversation represent a wide variety of disciplines and roles spanning the entire history of the experimental forest: Forest Service Research writer/editor Brookes, Forest Service soil scientist Dyrness, University of Washington professor Franklin, Forest Service Field operations manager Levno, Andrews Forest Director and OSU employee McKee, retired Forest Service scientist Silen, Forest Service geologist Swanson, retired Forest Service and College of Forestry science administrator Tarrant. This event was a field trip from Corvallis to the Andrews Forest, where more people joined the group for a drive to Carpenter Mountain Lookout at the highest (5300 ft), most northerly (and distant from the headquarters site) point in the Forest. The audio is very rough because of the noisy van ride, shifting size of group, and other factors. The settings vary from being in the van to being in a more controlled environment. During the drive from the headquarters to the lookout there is much commentary about many sites along the way. The conversation continued when the group returned to the headquarters site.
