Rajala delve into two of the more controversial issues British Columbians have faced over the past 60 yearsthe management of our forest industry and its impact on our freshwater ecosystems.

Orchard and the proposal and implementation of sustained-yield policies in the 1930s and 1940s to Ray Williston, Jim Hart and two fish-forestry conflicts that captured province-wide attention in the 1960s and 1970s.
