<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Courier>We had an excellent June field trip. The Nez
Perce foresters have all the problems of NEPA on top of some challenging
political problems and did an excellent job of covering it. It was interesting
to review how they are handeling timber management, fuels management,
reforestation, bio-control of noxious weeds, federal air rules, forest health,
and sale of carbon offsets. The Nez Perce also have an impressive display of Nez
Perce Tribe history at the National Historic Park. It is worth the time to stop
at this Historic Park.</FONT></DIV>

the other Nez Perce folks that provided a great field trip along with a good
lunch.</FONT></DIV>
