Land Stewardship: Vision 2020

Karuk Tribe, Six Rivers National Forest, Trees Foundation

In 1993, Rick Klein of Ancient Forests International and Michael Evenson of the Trees Foundation proposed a plan called “Vision 2020: Restoration and Ecosystem Management” for the Bluff Creek watershed, seeking to combine the efforts and skills of sustainable forestry with native Americans and the US Forest Service.

They signed a Memorandum of Understanding, a first of its kind at the time, between the US Forest Service, the Karuk Tribe and Trees Foundation.
