The poster forest for timber greed

Rick Bass on a proposed timber sale in Montana's Grizzly Country

Editor’s note: This is our first ever guest post and we are thrilled that the guest is Rick Bass, a writer I’ve admired since I first read his collection of short stories, The Watch, 30 years ago. I’ve read it many times since. Besides being a fine writer, Bass is also a passionate defender of wild-lands, particularly the Yaak Valley in northern Montana.
