Speaking

Speaking fees are negotiable, depending on variables such as venue and perceived depth of pockets of sponsor.

Normal travel expenses from Ashland (automobile mileage at current IRS rate) at a minimum.

An honorarium is usually required. My standard honorarium for a major plenary talk before non-profit or academic institutions is $1,000. For a for-profit company or for non-profit or academic institutions that can damn-well afford it, the standard rate is doubled.

If I really like the cause and/or organization, I can be talked down. Make me an offer.

Speeches

100-Year Plan was given at the 1994 Oregon Natural Resources Council Conference.

Growing Up in Timber Country is about growing up (physically, emotionally, and intellectually) in Oregon when timber was still king.

Wallowa County's Old Guard was given to a Lighthawk convention of the world's environmental airforce which was held in solidarity with myself and Ric Bailey of the Hells Canyon Preservation Council shortly after we both were hung in effigy.

Takings was given at the McGeorge School of Law in a symposium with the plaintiff of Lucas v. South Carolina, an important US Supreme Court case on what constitutes a constitutional taking. I argued that if a government action that downvalues land is a taking that must be compensated then it is equally true that a government action that upvalues land is a giving that can be confiscated.

Bald Eagle Conference Plenary Speech is a general overview of my views and vision for the Klamath Basin and was given at the annual Bald Eagle Conference in 2000. It examines the plight of the extraordinary Klamath River Basin and how more much can be made locally off conserving and restoring nature than exploiting and depleting it.

Endless Growth or the End of Growth? is my standard speech given to civic organizations.

25 Actions to End Growth in Oregon is more directed the true believers who already know that growth must end and want to know how to do it.
