Klamath Heartlands introduces the unique-in-the-nation plan by
the Klamath Tribes of southern Oregon to restore the "remembered
forest" of their former reservation, an area that Oregon governor Tom
McCall called "the greatest single stand of ponderosa pines to be found
anywhere in the West." Part of the Tribes' effort to regain lands they
lost in 1954, the Klamath Reservation Forest Plan offers a vision of
ecological and cultural restoration that will change the way we think
about Western forests.
Klamath Heartlands combines photographs, maps, and text in a
sturdy and engaging field guide. A series of fold-out and fold-up map
pages leads each reader into the forest itself to discover the Tribes'
vision and the significance of achieving it.
