Scope and Content
From the Collection:
Sam Hitt's Forest Guardians' Collection documents activities between 1988 and 2008. The collection is divided into ten series. The first three series contain information about the organization itself, including administrative proceedings and press coverage. The following three series detail specific campaigns launched by Forest Guardians. These series are grouped around larger themes (i.e. issues relevant to Forest Service proceedings, issues relevant to the logging and timber industry, etc.), but occasionally overlap in content. Next, there is a series concerning court cases and appeals concerning environmental issues in the Southwest. The remaining series are a collection of Forest Magazine from 2002 to 2010, World Watch Paper from 1975 to 2005, and audio tapes documenting Forest Guardians interviews and media coverage.
The first series, Administrative Documents, includes information regarding the operation and management of the organization. The series contains publications and newsletters produced by Forest Guardians as well as containing a section on the conferences and public forums that the organization attended. It also includes correspondence between director, Sam Hitt, and various outside researchers and/or Forest Guardian members.
The next two series contain documentation of the public and media appearances of Forest Guardians. The series, Public Talks and Interviews, contains transcripts of interviews and notes from a public talk by director, Sam Hitt. The subsequent series, Newspaper Articles Concerning Forest Guardians, is a compilation of newspaper and magazine articles describing the activities of Forest Guardians between 1998 and 2011. The final folder in this series contains articles written by Sam Hitt.
A principle goal of Forest Guardians is the preservation of forested lands. The series Forest Service Issues addresses the organizations’ criticism of Forest Service practice and policy. It is divided into three subseries which document 1) the legislative actions taken by Forest Guardians against Forest Service policies, 2) the specific proposals presented by Forest Guardians for better preservation of public lands and 3) the relationship between Forest Guardians and specific Forest Service personnel. This series occasionally overlaps with material from the series on Logging and Timber Issues in the Southwest. This series contains information on the timber industry and mismanaged logging practices on New Mexican forests and on public lands.
The following series on Appeals and Court Cases contains documents concerning court cases and appeals between U.S. federal agencies, Forest Guardians and other environmental organizations. The final series are a collection of Forest Magazine (from 2002 to 2010), a quarterly publication by Forest Service Employees for Environmental Ethics, a collection of World Watch Paper from 1975 to 2005, published by The Worldwatch Institute - a globally focused environmental research organization based in Washington, D.C, and cds with stories and interviews relating to Forest Guardians, from 1992 to 2001. The cds are arranged chronologically. Many include short news stories that aired on National Public Radio. There are also interviews, panel discussions and stories on environmental issues that were produced by local New Mexican or Southwestern radio programs.
