DESCRIPTION:Award winning journalist Greg King presents his breathtaking photos of the 
 Smith River, in the far northwestern corner of California, while discussing 
 the threat of pesticides and other impacts to this last of the state's wild 
 rivers. \n\nThe Smith River is the only major undammed river in California, 
 and it is one of the cleanest and most beautiful rivers in the world. 
 Scientists are relying on the Smith River to maintain healthy populations 
 of salmon and steelhead in order to have viable wild stocks that can 
 recolonize other California and Oregon streams into the future. Yet even on 
 the Smith River salmonids face an uphill battle against a damaged lower 
 reach, and against ongoing pesticide use on Easter lily farms that surround 
 the Smith River estuary. \n\nSiskiyou Land Conservancy Executive Director 
 and President Greg King has been active in California resource protection 
 efforts since 1985. His investigation of illegal logging led to the 
 eventual inclusion into the California State Park system of nearly 10,000 
 acres of forestland in western Sonoma County. \n\nIn 1987 King discovered 
 and named Headwaters Forest, containing the largest unprotected ancient 
 redwood groves in the world, 4,000 acres of which were permanently 
 protected in 1997. King founded the non-profit Smith River Project, 
 dedicated to protecting California's wildest river, and in 2004 he founded 
 Siskiyou Land Conservancy2004 he founded Siskiyou Land Conservancy, a land 
 trust and advocacy organization that serves five counties in northwestern 
 California. King is currently writing a book, The Ghost Forest, a history 
 of the redwood ecosystem and redwood logging and protection efforts. His 
 latest book, Rumors of Glory, the co-written memoir of Canadian rock star 
 Bruce Cockburn, will be published by HarperOne on November 4, 2014.\n
