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"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aWhite pine$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aWhite pine industry$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aWhite pine$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01174679 606 $aWhite pine industry$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01174685 607 $aUnited States$2fast 608 $aHistory.$2fast 615 0$aWhite pine$xHistory. 615 0$aWhite pine industry$xHistory. 615 7$aWhite pine. 615 7$aWhite pine industry. 676 $a634.97510973 700 $aPastor$b John$0433632 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910838329603321 996 $aWhite Pine$94143773 997 $aUNINA
