Natural-Landscaping: Lorrie Otto, founder of Wild Ones

April 1, 2010 by Duncan Brine Leave a Comment

  • Local News | Bellingham woman is a warrior against pesticides, an advocate for nature | Seattle Times Newspaper


    • To Lorrie Otto, the manicured expanse of green surrounding most homes is the root of environmental evil she’s spent decades trying to stamp out.

       

    • She founded Wild Ones, a natural-landscaping advocacy group in Wisconsin, of which she’s still a board member. And she continues to be an advocate for natural landscaping and protecting the Earth.

       

    • When Rachel Carson’s book “Silent Spring” came out in 1962, documenting the damage chemical pesticides did to birds’ eggs and criticizing government officials for unquestioningly accepting chemical-company propaganda, Otto’s campaign against DDT got a boost.

       

    • “When my husband came home with a New Yorker under his arm and said they were serializing ‘Silent Spring,’ I remember dancing around the house thinking: Now everyone will know about DDT,” Otto said.

       

    • “I was just one person,” she says. “Yet, I was the catalyst.”

Western White Pine Survivability: the Politics of Nature

April 6, 2008 by Duncan Brine Leave a Comment

Death of an ecosystem: perspectives on western white pine ecosystems of North America at the end of the twentieth century Annotated

The effective loss of western white pine (Pinus monticola Dougl.) in the white pine ecosystem has far-reaching effects on the sustainability of local forests and both regional and global forestry issues. Continuing trends in management of this forest type has the potential to put western white pine, as well as the ecosystem it once dominated, at very high risk in the future. Societal issues associated with natural resource management must be resolved early in the 21st century to allow restoration of this ecosystem so that the Interior Northwest’s most productive forests can be sustainable at levels near their historical potential.
Western white pine is the key to a uniquely valuable, productive, and stable forest type that was once prominent in the Interior Northwest .
In northern Idaho and contiguous portions of Washington, Montana, and British Columbia, the species often dominated most of the highly productive sites.
