“I’m a native Oregonian whose grandfather was a logger, my family owned property in western Oregonian, yet my mother was a teacher and we both loved and spent a great deal of time in the forest, so I remember this time very well, all sides of it. If there is one lesson I’d like others to take away it’s what is made most apparent in episode 4: Loggers (not necessarily the industry) was already on a downward slide. Wages were dropping, jobs were already disappearing, and fights over land already existed. It was no shock to anyone honest that the forests had been over-logged between 1970-1990 as well, and the logging corporations were pushing the workers to the brink, and automating the mills. The sad part though is even the loggers who saw the end coming, even accepted it to some degree, were soon faced with the hard reality that there would be no second chance, no “bailout” for them. Only a modicum of re-educational programs appeared, and after a short time of unemployment, the cliff came.”
