These last couple of weeks, listeners have been asking for an episode of the recent Timber Executive orders on Timber management in the National Forests. So, I invited Sharon Friedman on the show, who has a wealth of knowledge as the former Assistant Director of NEPA for the USDA in the D.C. office.

Sharon Friedman is the founder and Managing Editor of The Smokey Wire, a community sourced and supported news site for forest and federal lands issues. The Smokey Wire focuses on shared learning and civil discussion among practitioners (wildfire, forest, grassland, wildlife, fish, legal professionals), researchers, academics and the public.

She retired from the US Forest Service in 2012 as the Regional Planning Director for the Rocky Mountain Region, and previously was the Assistant Director for NEPA in the Washington Office. She joined the Forest Service in 1979 as an Area Geneticist in Oregon and switched from genetics and silviculture to NEPA in 2001. She has two degrees in forestry and a Ph.D. in genetics from the University of New Hampshire.
