But a shift towards ecologi- cal restoration, guided by the 1994 Northwest Forest Plan and innovative leadership, has made the Siuslaw a model for conflict-free management. Jim Furnish, former Forest Supervisor on the Siuslaw, was an integral part of this leadership and transition. Hear from Furnish, who will present excerpts from his new memoir, “Towards a Natural Forest: The Forest Service in Transition,” which explores the tumultuous tran- sition he experienced within the federal agency charged with balancing management on National Forests across the country. Currently a consulting forester in the Washington D.C. area, Furnish has 34 years of experience in the US Forest Service, including as Deputy Chief of the agency. Also featured is the film “Seeing the Forest” by film- maker and journalist Alan Honick, which tells the story of how the Siuslaw National Forest became a pioneer in ecosystem restoration and innovative management; and how people from all sides have come together to create a sus- tainable future for the forest and the human community that depends on it. Furnish will be joined by panelists Paul Engelmeyer with the Audubon Society, Chandra LeGue with Oregon Wild, and Dave Eisler of the Siuslaw Stewardship Group to Community College Florence every Friday during Open Enrollment.
