A "foundation species" that defines the structure of the ecosystem, white pine has been foundational in other ways-as a cultural touchstone and economic driver throughout their range. In White Pine, John Pastor will weave together ecological and human elements, tracing many critical roles white pine forests play in the North Woods and beyond. Since the clearcutting heyday of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, white pine has staged an impressive comeback, yet today, climate change poses a new and growing threat to the species' survival. There is hope for the iconic tree, however: seemingly opposing groups, including a longtime logging family and scientists at The Nature Conservancy, are pioneering new ways to protect and restore white pine forests. Throughout American history, the white pine has often been a symbol of the conflict between capitalism and conservation; but with Pastor's guidance, looking back at white pine's past can show us a new path forward"--Provided by publisher.White pineUnited StatesHistoryWhite pine industryUnited StatesHistoryWhite pinefast(OCoLC)fst01174679White pine industryfast(OCoLC)fst01174685United StatesfastHistory.fastWhite pineHistory.White pine industryHistory.White pine.White pine industry.634.97510973Pastor John433632MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910838329603321White Pine4143773UNINA
