Dan Pierce on Industrial Forestry and Floods

Water Logged by Dan Pierce

Summary

A bonus, unabridged conversation on forestry, floods, fires, and community self-determination. This was actually one of the very first recordings we made for what would become the latest editions of our series “On Fire”.

Since the format of those episodes ended up making the most sense as a travelog of Adam’s time in Cache Creek and Skeetchestn, we couldn’t find a place in it for this interview. But we still feel it was too important to not get it to your ears one way or another. It’s as relevant today as it was when it was recorded, in December of 2021.

We’re speaking with documentarian Dan Pierce, director of Heartwood: an ongoing series of short films exploring the ecological, social, and economic impacts of industrial logging
