He had been eight years upon a project for extracting sunbeams out of cucumbers, which were to be put in vials hermetically sealed, and let out to warm the air in raw inclement summers.

The topic areas on the home page is the best overall way to find out what I've been up to.

Major projects currently include:

• Directing the National Public Lands Grazing Campaign to end abusive livestock grazing on the public lands through public education, enforcement of existing laws and accountability of existing permittees, and changing federal law to encourage the voluntary retirement of federal grazing permits. Also see my NPLGC page.
  
• Consulting for Oregon Natural Resources Council to conserve, protect and restore the Klamath Basin of Oregon and California. See Klamath Basin.
  
• Consulting for the American Lands on ecosystem-based carbon sequestration (saving ecosystems and reducing global warming).
  
• Advising American Lands on public land livestock grazing, sage grouse and Sagebrush Sea issues (pro bono).
  
• Fundraising and political advice to the North American Industrial Hemp Council on industrial hemp.
  
  
• Advising the Soda Mountain Wilderness Council on ending livestock grazing within the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument (pro bono). See also national monuments.
  
• Independent solar electric power production by building Larch Generation Station I.

• Agitating for ecologically sound restoration of areas being encroached upon by western juniper. Juniper is expanding throughout its range primarily because of the exclusion of fire and the intrusion of livestock.
  
• Coauthoring with Leda Huta and Mike Roselle, Beyond Wood: The Case for Forests and Against Logging
