James Caplan talks about his many projects in the Umpqua

Jim "Cap" Caplan tells us a bit of his history with the forest service, including the time he worked at the Bridger-Teton National Forest while the famous Yellowstone wildland fire broke out in 1988. Jim is currently the COO of the Environmental Dispute Resolution USA, and teaches a class on the subject at UCC. Jim is also a founding member of the Umpqua Forestry Coalition and talks about their role in forest management. Jim was the Forest Supervisor of the Umpqua National Forest starting in 2002, while I was working with Umpqua Watersheds. We were pleased that Jim turned the forest toward more thinning in the managed plantations. Finally, Jim talks about his time with the Red Cross, the Roseburg Downtown association, and Cycle Umpqua.
