The Battle Over Headwaters Forest and the Transformation of American Environmental Politics, 1850 to 1999 ABSTRACT Dissertation Title: DEFENDING GIANTS: THE BATTLE OVER HEADWATERS FOREST AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF AMERICAN ENVIRONMENTAL POLITICS, 1850 TO 1999 Darren Frederick Speece, Doctor of Philosophy, 2010 Dissertation directed by: Associate Professor David B. Sicilia. Department of History The redwoods have long been a source of inspiration and conflict. By the end of the twentieth century, disputes over logging Redwood Country had helped transform American environmental politics. Historians have largely neglected the redwood wars, but their impact on environmental politics was great. After 1945, the redwood wars ended official corporatist timber regulation in California, established a series of legal precedents governing private property management, and prompted the reordering of the federal environmental protection regime. This dissertation describes those transformations in detail, and helps situate the long history of conflicts over logging the redwoods in American history. The history of the redwood wars demonstrates the ways in which local activism influence the development of environmental politics, Northcoast activists complicate our understanding of radical environmentalism and wilderness ideals, and conservation methodologies persist in the priorities of modern environmentalism. The redwood wars were one of the longest and most violent environmental disputes in American history, beginning during the 1970s and lasting into the twenty-first century. Northcoast residents had grown increasingly concerned about the future of the ancient forest, timber jobs, and their rural culture as the rate of clear-cutting increased and as corporate giants swallowed up land. Some residents organized and challenged the industrial logging regime because of its threat to the health of their rural society. Eventually, the Northcoast was awash in daily direct actions, persistent litigation, and intense media scrutiny. After 1986, the citizen activists focused more and more on Pacific Lumber’s plans to harvest its remaining old growth groves in Humboldt County. Pacific Lumber owned nearly all of the unprotected ancient redwood forest in the world, and the forest complex that contained those old-growth groves became known as Headwaters Forest. In 1999, after more than a decade of violent and protracted conflict, Pacific Lumber, California, and the federal government consummated an agreement to publicly acquire several old-growth groves and manage the rest of the company’s land under a comprehensive land management plan. Even so, the wars continued because of the uncompromising nature of the local activists. DEFENDING GIANTS: THE BATTLE OVER HEADWATERS FOREST AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF AMERICAN ENVIRONMENTAL POLITICS, 1850 – 1999 By Darren Frederick Speece Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryland, College Park in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2010 Advisory Committee: Dr. David B. Sicilia, Chair Dr. Robert Nelson Dr. Joe Oppenheimer Dr. Thomas Zeller ©Copyright by Darren Frederick Speece 2010 Acknowledgements I owe a heartfelt thanks to the many people and institutions that made this project possible. In particular, David Sicilia guided, supported, and challenged me from the first day I stepped into his office in August 2004 as a new advisee and Teaching Assistant. This project bares the indelible marks of his years of patience and mentoring, and I am deeply indebted to him. David forced me to challenge my own interpretations, writing, and research more times than he probably cares to recall, and this dissertation is orders of magnitude better than it would have been without his persistent presence in my life and work. Thomas Zeller read, reread and reread multiple drafts of research papers, article manuscripts, and dissertation chapters, and his insights and questions helped improve my analysis at every step, especially at those times I didn’t want to take a step back to rework ideas. Joe Oppenheimer, Robert Nelson, David Freund, and Whit Ridgway provided crucial feedback and support throughout my graduate education and dissertation work. I also owe a hearty thanks to Saverio Giovacchini who not only served on my comprehensive exam committee, but who I also suspect played a critical role in my acceptance to the Ph.D. program at Maryland. The research was made possible by the generosity of many individuals on the Northcoast. Kathy Bailey in particular, who opened her home, memory, and office to me on numerous occasions. Her files on her work related to Northcoast forestry and redwoods issues were invaluable, and the most organized I’ve ever encountered off a dirt road back in the mountains. Scott Greacen and the staff at the Environmental Protection Information Center literally handed me the keys to their storage unit, and my work would ii not have been possible without their archives. Additionally, Dan and Carrie Hamburg also opened their memories, home, and office to me, and Carrie even sorted through the Congressman’s boxes in the attic and found the ones related to his Headwaters bill for me. Many others on the Northcoast were vital resources as well: Robert Sutherland, Richard Geinger, Darryl Cherney, Alicia Littletree, Paul Mason, Kevin Bundy and Kate Anderton each provided me with marvelous oral histories. The Humboldt Historical Society mailed me copies of documents from their files at no charge when I was back on the East Coast. Finally, I owe a deep debt to the late John Campbell and his family for generously allowing me to interview John while he was in the final fight in his battle with cancer. On the East Coast, I am thankful for the assistance of Cheryl Oakes at the Forest History Society for her remote assistance with my Pacific Lumber research. The History Department at the University of Maryland, along with the Graduate School and the College of Arts and Humanities provided me with crucial funding throughout my graduate career. This project, of course, was made possible by the unending support of my family. In particular, my parents, Fred and Linda Speece, supported and helped fund my venture into the history of conflicts over logging the redwoods. I am forever in their debt. And finally, I cannot appropriately express my gratitude to my wife, Tiernan, who sacrificed a great deal in order to support my fascination with understanding the Headwaters Forest conflict.

As of this decade, 53 percent of the equity in American cor- porations has passed into the hands of institutional shareholders: public pension funds, private pension funds, mutual funds, insurance companies, foundations, and managed trust funds.' In the nation's largest fifty companies, institutional investors own 50.1 percent of outstanding shares. In the next largest fifty companies, they own 59.2 percent of the shares. In some leading industries, the concentration is higher: 56 percent of the aerospace industry, 59 percent of the electrical industry, and 61 percent of the transportation industry.

  • Mr. Floatie, Tree Squatting and Save-Our-Surfers Pierre Walter Department of Educational Studies, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada
    Australian Journal of Adult Learning Volume 52, Number 1, April 2012 Cultural codes as catalysts for collective conscientisation in environmental adult education: Mr. Floatie, tree squatting and Save-our-Surfers Pierre Walter Department of Educational Studies, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada This study examines how cultural codes in environmental adult education can be used to ‘frame’ collective identity, develop counter- hegemonic ideologies, and catalyse ‘educative-activism’ within social movements. Three diverse examples are discussed, spanning environmental movements in urban Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, the redwoods of northern California, and the coral reefs and beaches of Hawai’i, respectively. The first, Mr. Floatie and his fight for sewage treatment, illustrates how art, humour and drama can be employed to mobilise the public, media and government to action. The second, Julia Butterfly Hill and her 738-day squat in a redwood tree, shows how cultural codes embodied in both tree and woman catalysed social action for forest preservation. The third, the grassroots organisation Save Our Surf, demonstrates the effectiveness of education and activism through immediate, multiple Cultural codes 115 and short-term symbolic appeals for help, leading to long-term success in Hawaiian coastal conservation. Introduction In several decades of scholarship and activism on adult learning in new social movements (the women’s, peace, civil rights, anti-racism, GLBT rights, anti-globalisation, Indigenous rights, environmental and other ‘identity’ movements), one of the central concerns has been, and remains today, the role of social movements in facilitating individual and collective learning, and, conversely, the role of adult learning and activist-educators in advancing social movements (Foley 1999, 2001; Hill & Clover 2003; Branagan & Boughton 2003; Hall & Turay 2006; Ollis 2008; Flowers & Chodkiewicz 2009).

Fritzsche, Ph.D. Date Dean for Research and Graduate Studies Abstract "I have given up my society world self:" Self and Other in the Julia Butterfly Tapes Geraldine Goldberg The purpose of this thesis is to provide access to and social analysis of a set of live weekly radio conversations, as a case study of a woman living in a tree, as a nonviolent direct action. The Julia Butterfly Tapes result from the live radio conversations between Julia "Butterfly" Hill and me. As no other research will ever do, the tapes document the historic tree sit of this courageous and outspoken environmental activist. The tapes have been completely transcribed as a verbatim account of a year and a half in Julia's life in the tree from which her point of view may be determined. The information in this account/ethnography has been edited from our live radio conversations to comply with the requirements for the Master's degree. A broader scope of sociological inquiry concerning this unique case study remains for others throughout various disciplines for interpretation, analysis and further understanding.
