Prof. Dan Brown is Director of the School of Environmental and Forest Sciences at UW. He’s also Vice-Chair of the WA Board of Natural Resources, which meets every month to approve (or deny) timber sale proposals. Since 2018, Brown has consistently voted IN FAVOR of DNR timber sales that are decimating the last remaining native forests on state lands. DNR timber sales require a majority vote to proceed. Two of the board’s six members, Superintendent Chris Reykdal and Dean Raj Khosla, are already pushing back by voting against the most problematic sales. Persuading Brown to follow suit would save thousands of acres of carbon-rich, biodiverse native forests from being clearcut.
