Lou Gold sharing Slides and Stories from the Oregon Wilderness
Lou Gold is a dynamic storyteller and eloquent voice for the
ancient forests of the Pacific Northwest. After several years
of speaking to enthusiastic audiences across the country, he has
become a nationally known pied piper of ecological idealism.
His wilderness tales of bears, owls, fungi and wildfire
reveal the secrets of old-growth forest ecology and his tough-minded analysis of Forest service policies shows citizens how to end the damage being done to our public lands. An encounter with
Lou Gold and his vivid slide show will convince even the most
skeptical of the urgent need to protect our quickly vanishing
natural areas. It is a message of hope, power and opportunity
for all who care about wild places.
