Earth First! Fist, Volume Five

Foreman, Dave, et al., eds. Earth First! 5, no. 1 (1 November 1984). Republished by the Environment & Society Portal, Multimedia Library. http://www.environmentandsociety.org/node/6855.


In this issue of Earth First! the hope is still strong for preserving the Cathedral Forest in Oregon; Mike Roselle, Marcy Willow, and Robert Brothers provide an update on the current situation in Middle Santiam; Greg Marskell describes how taxes destroy rainforests; and Ronnie Hawkins discusses how green politics emerged in North America. 

Hello out there. Yes, it has been a long absence. And, no, the Post Office did not eat your Mabon (September) issue of Earth First!. It was never mailed. In fact, it never was. For that I apologize and offer in recompense this jumbo 4th Anniversary Samhain edition of Earth First!.
