The Earth First! movement is expanding and Dave Foreman points out some growing pains as a result of EF!’s increased visibility. This issue also provides news about the protests against logging of Redwood forests, reports on the threatened Wilderness and wolves in the Northern Rockies, and a call for freeing the public lands.
Actually, Earth First! is a lot like a crazed flock of hungry hummingbirds. We’re so busy in so many places, I sometimes think that we’re beating our wings seventy times a second.
