Bill Dietrich published The Final Forest: Big Trees, Forks and the Pacific Northwest in 1993, and then an updated version was published in 2011. Recently the author told us that the current administration is " trying to dismantle the old growth agreement of the early 90s, a disastrous idea, but that society has also moved on in that the small town logging mania of the 1980s has declined and adapted to lesser and different cutting... I laugh at myself because when I wrote The Final Forest I worried, with my newspaper instincts, that the issue would be resolved and forgotten by the time my book came out. And here we are! A perennially important and divisive issue."
