34. Sitka spruce, Klootchy Creek Park, Clatsop County, Oregon. This 750-year-old tree, which is 206 feet tall and 56 feet in circumference, is the largest tree now standing in Oregon, though it is characteristic of many that used to stand in the original forest. In its presence we find stillness. And perhaps some anxiety: the attack on the tree that Julia Butterfly Hill risked her life to save is representative of a pathology now quite common in the Northwest. From Turning Back, A Photographic Journal of Re-exploration

51. An eroding clearcut, Pacific County, Washington. Erosion is an inevitable consequence of clearcutting. No people in history have clearcut without damaging the soil. If one turns a globe—China, India, the Near East, Europe, the eastern seaboard reminded that some degree of long-term deforestation has been the rule with clearcutting, and that this in turn has resulted in the diminishment of whole societies. Significantly, China has recently “stopped clearcutting native forests” and has “subsidized retraining of hundreds of thousands of loggers.” (The Oregonian, January 25, 2004) From Turning Back, A Photographic Journal of Re-exploration

75. Near Clatskanie, Columbia County, Oregon. Raymond Carver, the short story writer and poet, was born in Clatskanie. His family soon moved, but as a young man he worked in lumber mills in Chester and Eureka, California. The landscapes of industrial forestry are consonant with some of the hard truths about which he wrote. From Turning Back, A Photographic Journal of Re-exploration

71. Floras Creek, Curry County, Oregon. Research in South America has shown that the slow release of moisture held by some coastal forests is important to the formation of clouds that then take rain inland. Coastal deforestation is thus believed to contribute to climate change and desertification. From Turning Back, A Photographic Journal of Re-exploration
