America's Forests with Chuck Leavell

South Carolina

Rolling Stones keyboardist Chuck Leavell combines two of his passions - music and trees - to bring stories of sustainable forestry to the public on "America's Forests with Chuck Leavell." This pilot episode focuses on Oregon - building timber skyscrapers in Portland; adapting to 'fire forests' in Bend; and habitat restoration in the Siuslaw National Forest on the Oregon Coast.
