Jason discusses the Kitsap Forest and Bay Campaign, specifically the effort to conserve the 3,000 acre Port Gamble Forest with Leonard Forsman, Tribal Chairman of the Suquamish Tribe and Michael Kowalski, avid hiker of the Port Gamble Forest. 

Leonard Forsman has served as Tribal Chairman of the Suquamish Tribe since 2005. His interests include tribal education, cultural preservation, gaming policy and habitat protection. He has served on Tribal Council for a total of 25 years, worked as an archaeologist for Larson Anthropological/ Archaeological Services and is the former director of the Suquamish Museum. President Barack Obama appointed Chairman Forsman to the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation in 2013.

Michael Kowalski has lived in Kingston since 2006. He and his wife have two daughters, both college age. The Kowalskis use the trails in the Port Gamble Forest almost daily, mostly to take their mini Australian Shepherd on hikes. Michael and his wife have led guided hikes in the Port Gamble Forest as part of the Community Campaign to raise awareness about the efforts to save this treasured land from development. Michael works in technology marketing in the greater Seattle area.
