DESCRIPTION:Greg King will present an image and information-rich presentation tracing 
 the natural history of the redwood forest and its collision with Western 
 humanity. His talk offers a chronicle of the redwood ecosystem, its two 
 hundred million-year journey across the globe, and an examination of 
 redwood logging and protection efforts since the mid-19th century. 
 \n\nHeadwaters Forest, discovered and named in 1987 by Greg, will be 
 emphasized along with its place in the history of redwood logging and 
 redwood protection. He will discuss key elements of state, federal and 
 corporate policy with regard to regulations and their practical application 
 (or lack thereof). Early on in Greg's investigations of Pacific Lumber's 
 (PL) accelerated liquidation of the world's last unprotected ancient 
 redwood groves, he discovered that PL's new parent company, Maxxam, and 
 regulators themselves at the California Department of Forestry and the 
 State Board of Forestry, were routinely interpreting court edicts requiring 
 greater adherence to environmental laws by simply modifying language to 
 achieve the same levels of routine violation. \n\nGreg King is a UCSC 
 alumni, and on a short guest lecture tour throughout western California 
 from March 4 to 14. His talk reflects elements of his upcoming book, The 
 Ghost Forest.\n\nSponsored by the California Native Plant Society, Santa 
 Cruz County chapter.\n\nFree\n
