Sustaining the Forests of the Pacific Coast: Forging Truces in the War in the Woods

This collection is unique in examining forest policy in the context of a binational region, exploring how two political systems, facing similar cultural and economic challenges, have treated their forests. It also brings consideration of environmental justice to forest policy discourse by highlighting perspectives of those whose voices are often unheard in forest policy debate - Natives, private non-industrial forest owners, citizen activists, and workers in the emerging non-timber forest economy. * Debra Salazar and Don Alper both teach in the Department of Political Science at Western Washington University.
