Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Washington, 2010.

This dissertation is based on the activities and ideologies of three adjacent communities within the Willamette National Forest of the Oregon Cascades---Detroit, Breitenbush, and the local Detroit Ranger District branch of the US Forest Service. It illustrates how each community interprets the idea of sustainability and values and uses the local forest resources of the WNF. Each community has a different social and economic background, and each takes a different approach to natural resource management and sustainability---to perpetuate both natural resources and the community into the future.

520 $a This dissertation is based on the activities and ideologies of three adjacent communities within the Willamette National Forest of the Oregon Cascades---Detroit, Breitenbush, and the local Detroit Ranger District branch of the US Forest Service. It illustrates how each community interprets the idea of sustainability and values and uses the local forest resources of the WNF. Each community has a different social and economic background, and each takes a different approach to natural resource management and sustainability---to perpetuate both natural resources and the community into the future.
520 $a The dissertation employs a framework of ethnoecology and political ecology theory to assist in the analysis of how and why people in the three communities interpret and value the natural world around them. For example, certain species or biological systems (such as late-successional forests or the spotted owl) may be valued or dismissed based on a community's or individual's history of interaction with the environment. Perceptions of lack of local control over the forest resource system (the WNF) vary among the communities, and often manifest as feelings of insecurity which impact attitudes about forest resources and the sustainability of the forest and community livelihoods within it.
520 $a The dissertation documents through surveys, focal follows, and semi-structured interviews, how economic realities and resource management practices in the three communities affect ecological ideals, and vice versa. The way in which community residents utilize, interpret, and value the forest around them relates to the structure, function, and economic health of each community and their ability to influence and work within current National Forest management policy. The dissertation shows how resource management practices and ideals have changed in the communities with the decline of the timber industry throughout the WNF and the entire Forest Service Region 6. Differences in community knowledge and use of local plants and animals are discussed herein, including analysis of the perceptions of intrinsic animal value among the communities. The idea of sustainability is explored through discussions of species conservation and forest resource use, and sustaining both communities and forests into the future, timber management policies, and how the communities reflect their environmental ideals through the use and knowledge (or lack thereof) of "sustainable housing", or "green building" technology and energy-saving strategies.
520 $a Research results suggest that everyone in the three communities values and feels a strong attachment to the WNF on some level, be it practical (economic uses, foraging and recreation), emotional/spiritual, aesthetic, and/or biocentric. Most residents agree that WNF timber was being overharvested through the 1980s. All would like to see the forest managed sustainably for the future, albeit in different formats depending on individual and community backgrounds and values. Residents currently or formerly dependent on the timber industry tend to take a more anthropocentric, multi-use view of the forest's value, and wish to see it sustained for the future with an emphasis on preserving vital human community within the forest. These residents tend to feel the most powerlessness over WNF resources. Those historically not dependent on timber dollars tend to favor management approaches that promote the aesthetic and recreational appeal of the forest, or focus primarily on its biophysical, emotional, and spiritual values. Breitenbush residents, who manage their land as a common-property resource, have the strongest feelings of security about their control over local natural resources. Breitenbush places the greatest emphasis on biocentric and spiritual forest values.
