The Starker Lecture Series is sponsored by the Starker family in memory of T.J. and Bruce Starker. As leaders of modern forest management, T.J. and Bruce Starker were visionaries for sustainable forestry in Oregon. With advances in knowledge, technology, and public environmental issues, forestry in Starker Forests has changed, but the constant value of tending the land remains unchanged. The sound, progressive forestry and community spirit of T.J. and Bruce Starker continue today. We, at Oregon State University, College of Forestry, family and friends, are pleased to be honored with this lecture series.
All lectures occur during the fall term and are free and open to the public.
