About this listen

In this interview, which took place on  July 14, 2025, Andy provides the background of what was happening in his life, and the forest around him, that led to the formation of Protect Our Woods in the late 1980's, and then Heartwood in 1991. He speaks about the joy of meeting like-minded folks who cared about the forest the same way he did, and how Heartwood exists as a network of people who care deeply about each other, while also being an organization that has been highly effective at changing the way National Forests are managed all over the country.
