Forests Forever came about in 1989 during the famous Headwaters Forest issue in Humboldt
County. It was the world’s largest unprotected virgin redwood forest and was a fight with the
timber industry. It was Prop.130, that became known as the “Forests Forever” Initiative that gave
its name to the forest organization the name. They continued fighting the battle, eventually
establishing 7500 acres of Headwaters Forest as a preserve. There’s more to this story that we
will hear about.
Paul Hughes has spent his earlier years as a conservation activist, has a bachelor’s degree in
Journalism from Indiana University, worked for Sierra Club in Indiana, and has served as a staff
director at the California League of Conservation Voters in San Francisco. He’s now the Exec. Dir.
of Forests Forever, here in California since 1993.
