We have been deluged by responses to Barry Wynsma's thoughtful essay on Forest Service leadership - or the lack thereof. Provided here is some feedback on the essay.
Editor's Note:
Diana Ebersbacher, a long time Seneca Sawmill Company employee, has written a thought-provoking essay concerning Seneca's plans for constructing an 18.8 megawatt wood-fired power plant next to the company's sawmill at Eugene, Oregon. When the facility is completed, the facility will produce sufficient electricity to power 18,000 homes, with enough surplus steam to heat the company's lumber drying kilns, which currently use natural gas. Seneca is one of the West's most technologically advanced lumber companies.
Ms Ebersbacher's essay appears in the Summer 2009 edition of the Oregon Fish & Wildlife Journal.
