Jim oversees all the resource management activities for the 250,000 acre portion of the White Mountain National Forest that the district encompasses.  Jim has worked at all levels of forestry in the Forest Service: as a field forester in Michigan and Montana to policy expert in Washington D.C.

  As a companion read we have chosen The Big Burn by Timothy Egan, “The story of the nation’s biggest wildfire-an apocalyptic blaze that burned an area the size of Connecticut in a weekend.  No living person had ever seen a fire with the ferocity, speed, and destructive power of the Big Burn of 1910.  Equally dramatic is the larger story of Teddy Roosevelt and Gifford Pinchot and the creation myth of the U.S Forest Service”.  Please join us the evening of Tuesday, 2/11 at 7:00 pm in the library for an informative, interesting and educational program.
