their knowledge of resource management with people living in the Pacific
Northwest. We are particularly interested in providing a contact point for
youth groups or schools seeking first person, historic resource management
information.
|

To
provide a link between land management agencies and retirees, emphasizing the
importance of historical events, people and equipment.
|
|
To
promote relationships beneficial to the conservation of the Northwest’s
natural resources.
|
|
To encourage retiring
Forest Service persons and their associates to maintain and nurture their
professional and personal heritage. |
