TheRedesignedForestby Chris Maser
The work of Chris Maser,a former BLM employee,stands as perhaps-themost striking testamentto the ferment that isnow taking place withinthe federal land agencies,
The Redesigned Forest is a provocative, highly readablecall to arms for fundamental reform of our policy towardold growth forests. Maser’s creative thinking andwriting surely will figure prominently in the com-prehensive reassessment that we are now undergoingin regard to our treatment of the nation’s forest lands.
