for outstanding stewardship over the last two decades, including the Outstanding Conservationist
Award from the Soil Conservation Service, the Award for Outstanding Stewardship of Fish and
Wildlife Resources on non-industrial Forestland from the Oregon Dept. of Fish and Wildlife and
the Oregon Dept. of Forestry, the Richard H. Pough Award for Land Stewardship Excellence, Tree
Farmer of the Year from the Douglas Small Woodland Owner’s Association and others.
Jim is not a flaming environmentalist or a tree-hugger, but instead a steadfast realist and
naturalist. Rather than disrupt others by trying to convince or force them to make conscious
choices that benefit wildlife, he has chosen to, by example, demonstrate what can be accomplished
for wildlife with dedication and hard work on one’s own land.
Now that the wildlife habitat on his place has reached a very high degree of viability (the
ability to sustain itself ) he spends most if not all of his free time in the woods with his Nikon
cameras. He has become quite expert at quietly moving around and keeping hidden to observe
native wildlife behaving naturally. City dwellers find that simply going for a walk with Jim can be
an extraordinary learning experience.
He’s not particularly interested in social events or being cool, but quite intense about the
well-being of the native wildlife that inhabit his place.
“Being Wild” is all about helping others realize that it can be accomplished.view less
