Very sad news:
( Not yet confirmed. But likely.)
Search continues after storied forest advocate goes missing in Oregon wildfire.
One of the great environmentalist heroes of recent decades is George Atiyeh. Nephew of the last Republican governor of Oregon Vic Atiyeh, this former logger bucked the industry and made a life crusade to protect the Opal Creek Wilderness.
@corlin yes, heartbreaking. We’ve stayed with friends in a cabin at Jawbone Flats a few days every summer for the past few years. Mourning that loss as well. I ought to post some pics of Opal Creek as a thank you to George.
