“A well-conceived story detailing a political conflict that defines the PNW. The show attempts a comprehensive perspective that is empathetic to the major stakeholders and their deeply held beliefs. The trees are given their due, too. Which is important.”

“This was something they never taught us when I was in school for forestry. Definitely is a topic that needs to be discussed and seen from different perspectives. I really enjoyed the collaboration between the different groups of people who have vastly different perspectives on things. I bing...”Read full review »

“I’ve waited 28 years for this. Moved to Oregon in 1996 and have wondered how all the pieces of logging, owls, clear cutting, salvage logging all fit together ever since. Really amazing and so thankful it exists. Kudos to all the hard work and excellent reporting - what we miss everywhere else!”

“I grew up during the timber wars and have long wished for this kind of story, which has been missing from nature writing. Acknowledging the human side of the timber industry doesn’t compromise the moral imperative to protect old growth. So many activists could learn from this approach.”

“A well told and unbiased series. Why we can’t use selective logging and spare the Old Growth escapes me. Oh, is it
more work and more costly? Hmmm. Living in western Oregon I have seen clear cutting. What a terrible rape of the land. I have seen hundreds of log trucks lined up in Coos Bay,...”Read full review »

“As a born and bred Oregonian, who’s family was in the timber industry it’s fascinating to relive the history. Really enjoying this podcast. The intro of the first episode did make me laugh out loud though, no hipster is elbow to elbow with loggers and is throwing a beer in their face!”

“Infuriated by the lack of indigenous perspective. The tag line might as well be “White guys ‘discover’ what indigenous people have known for 10,000 years, save a tiny amount of old growth from other white guys.””
