About this listen

 Today’s episodes of Making Contact and Pushing Limits are preempted by special programming for KPFA’s 2025 Spring Fund Drive. Sasha Lilley speaks with Greg King, an award-winning journalist and activist credited with spearheading the movement to protect Headwaters Forest, in Humboldt County, California. King initiated the “redwood wars” following the notorious 1985 takeover of the venerable Pacific Lumber Company by the Houston energy and real estate conglomerate Maxxam. King has spent decades researching redwood logging and preservation efforts and is the author of the book The Ghost Forest: Racists, Radicals, and Real Estate in the California Redwoods.
