Join in an Open Discussion with Jim Furnish, former USFS Deputy Chief about the future of our national forests and his new memoir, Toward a Natural Forest: the Forest Service in Transition, Daniel Kemmis, former mayor of Missoula, and Orville Daniels, former Lolo National Forest Supervisor.

View the 30-minute video documentary, Seeing the Forest, as a thought-provoking precursor to this open discussion and panel. The video focuses on a West Coast National Forest’s transition in the wake of the spotted owl crisis.

This Open Discussion and Panel is sponsored by the University of Montana's (UM) College of Forestry and Conservation and UM student chapter of the Society for Ecological Restoration.
