Forest under siege : the story of old growth after Gifford Pinchot / Rand Schenck.

Summary:

"The first chief of the United States Forest Service marveled at the Cascades' ancient forests, but by 1990, relentless logging left a mere thirteen percent of the Pacific Northwest's original old growth. Focusing primarily on the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, an environmental activist examines one hundred years of Pacific Northwest forestry--revealing just how close the region's ancient forests came to extinction--and offering his perspective on the decades of stewardship, the period of unabated harvest, and efforts toward old growth rebirth." --Provided by publisher.
