An Agency Much Maligned

(nothing yet)

Like most kids, I grew up with Lassie and her master, a Forest Service dude. Who didn't love the Forest Service?Years later, I saw my first major clear cut, and the 'white hats' came off the federal agency for me.  But since we produced a lot of segments on the Forest Service and since one of my chapters doesn't treat them too nicely and since they manage a good chunk of the state's land, I figure they deserve a chapter.

Plus, we put together a fairly lengthy piece with the former Chief of the Forest Service and other F.S. leaders, but only used part of it in our 2022 "The Next Chapter." I told them before taping that if they were open and honest, and were willing to talk about mistakes, it would just be them talking and not the "other" side. I was impressed with what they had to say, and even suggested the 17 minute segment be 'required' watching for new recruits.
