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

Image Not Available for 59. Clatsop County, Oregon. To be denied the original forest that stood here is to be orphaned, as children whose parents died in a war. In this situation we can never take comfort from the whole shape of the natural lives that bore us. John Szarkowski has written about how Eugene Atget’s photographs of old trees in France “describe the particular ways that trees articulate their forms, effloresce, bear fruit, grip the earth, claim space and light, and fail.” That testimony of completeness is destroyed by clearcutting, and with it an encouragement to wisdom and peace.

93. Curry County, Oregon. . . . the poor joiner, working at his wood, Knew not the tree from which the planks were taken, Knew not the glade from which the trunk was brought, Knew not the soil in which the roots were fast, Nor by what centuries of gales the boughs were shaken, But holds them all beneath his hands at last V. Sackville-West How much more difficult it is to imagine the origin of a sheet of chip board. As John Hay has written, we are “destroyers who are incapable of identifying our victims.”From Turning Back, A Photographic Journal of Re-exploration
