JPR reporter Justin Higginbottom joins the Exchange with a report on the history of non-logging forestry work in Oregon ... from the Hoedads to the Pineros. We'll learn how they are connected and how the industry has evolved over time.
We'll examine the current reliance on guest workers and address some of the concerns about this industry, such as lower wages and worker safety. Justin will walk us across a timeline of history to the present day and talk about the future expectations under the current administration in Washington DC.
