We welcome Kyle to the show! So fortunate to sit down with him and get to talk about his career in contract forestry. Coming from the midwest Kyle was lucky to grow up in the land of lakes but was eager to explore the PNW. After college he made his way to the west and found various jobs working as a forester, living out of his car and exploring numerous national forests.

Kyle has made a living performing surveys, most notably the Forest Inventory Analysis (FIA) surveys for local national forests. He shares some of his most notable growing moments in his career and fine tuning his survey skills.

We hope that you enjoy this conversation as much as we did.

Jim and Holly are a rare breed. Two local biologists take the chance of a lifetime, sharing a position on Taylor Ranch for the University of Idaho in the remote Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness in Idaho. Over these 21 years they make amazing local discoveries in predator's and prey movements as well changing the lives of students that visited during the summer months. They share the ups and downs of living so remote as well as the tragedy of the fires of 2000. They write a very detailed account in their book : 7003 Days; 21 years in the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness (which can be found on Amazon). Please welcome Jim and Holly.
