Earth First growing, activists say
(AP) — More than 10 years after Earth First
began staging dramatic demonstrations ranging
from guerrilla theater to outright vandalism, the
renegade environmental group is experiencing ft
renaissance, activists say.
"The movement's really exploding in some
areas said |itn Flynn, one of four editors of the
Earth First /otirnal. whit h publishes at counts of
the group's actions around the country
The journal recently moved from Missoula
Mont . to new headquarters in Eugene
Founded in 1980 In a group of Arizona m tivists.
Earth First was less of an organization than a series
of protests aimed at bringing public and media
attention to obsc urc environmental battles
A bulldozer left Doug Norlen buried in dirt and
gravel ns it s( raped a logging road around him dur
ing his first Earth First protest 10 years ago
"I remember it like it was yesterday." said
Norlen. recalling his unsuccessful attempt to use
himself as a human roadblock
But the movement began to fizzle toward the
end of the decade ns its lenders grew disenc bant
ed.
Dave Foreman, the primary architect and voice
of the movement in its heyday, checked out after
he was arrested by the FBI and charged w ith con
spiracy to destroy government property.
As part of a plea Iwirgain. Foreman promised not
to sanction further acts of violence. He also began
making public: statements that Earth First was fin
ished.
But there may be life in Earth First yet.
At the journal's headquarters, subscriptions are
on the rise and cash contributions are increasing,
said editor Kimberly Dawn.
"I was opening envelopes with $100 checks,
$500 checks. It was amazing," Dawn said. "We
have more money than we've ever had in the
past." She declined to say how much money the
group has.
Confrontations between Earth First activists and
road building crews in the Nez Perce National For
The movement’s really
exploding in some areas.’
Jim Flynn.
Earth First Journal
est in Idaho have intensified.
I or several months, protesters have been trying
to stop logging in the 7H.OOO-ocre Cove-Mallard
roadless area
Hiere have been dozens of arrests and some
reports of vandalism to machinery In one rase, a
protester reported being beaten up by a logging
crew.
F.nrth First members not only have gone to jail
over their protests, they've also liven sued Actions
in southern Oregon provoked n successful $25,000
suit by Huffam and Wright Logging Co in
Canyonville.
They came on our site and one person climbed
the varder, shackled himself to the line with hand
cuffs," recalled Roger Wright, an owner of the
company. "We just went home for the day."
Wright said he doesn't have much respect for
Karth First because of its radical persona.
"To act like they do. baying like wolves, like a
bunch of nuts. They're probably doing as much
harm to their cause as they're doing good,” Wright
said.
Although its tactics remain the same, the group
has evolved over the years. Dawn said.
"People have learned from experience how to
run and how not to run campaigns," she said. "I
see a really big difference in how serious the cam
paigns are."
Nonviolence remains a key Fiarth First ideal, but
members draw a fine distinction between people
and property.
"For some reason, some people in the world
seem to think violence means properly damage."
Flynn said. "You can’t be violent to a bulldozer.
You can't be violent to a road."
