Interviewing a job applicant in a public place may be awkward and inconsiderate, but it is most likely legal, though experts say it’s ill advised.

A Young Logger With Deep Roots in the California Timberlands

A newly graduated forestry technician enjoys the sense of continuity that comes from playing his part in the business his family started 70 years ago.

He seems an ethical student of forestry.
The family firm is privately owned.
The value of the wood is very high.
We keep learning about forest ecology.
