Ghost Forest Lecture

Kate Buchanan Room

Author-activist Greg King will present “The Ghost Forest: Radicals and Real Estate in the California Redwoods,” a personal history of the ancient redwood ecosystem and the struggles to protect it, at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, April 17, in the Kate Buchanan Room on the Humboldt State campus in Arcata. King is credited with discovering and naming Headwaters Forest in 1987, when he was a leader of Humboldt Earth First! and played a critical role in protecting the forest. In this presentation, King examines this intense era of ancient redwood liquidation by Maxxam Corp., the equally fervent efforts to save the last of this unparalleled ecosystem, and the current state of the forest. In his talk, King explores the natural history of the redwood ecosystem. His presentation also chronicles the redwoods’ wider collision with western humanity and discusses key elements of state, federal and corporate timber policy. The lecture is sponsored by the HSU Society for Conservation Biology and the HSU Environment & Community Program.
