81st Oregon Logging Conference Announces Keynote Speaker

Secretary Ryan Zinke, U.S. Secretary of Interior, has been invited to deliver the keynote address at the 81st Oregon Logging Conference, on Thursday, February 21st, 2019, in the Wheeler Pavilion, Lane Events Center and Fairgrounds, Eugene, Oregon.

Zinke was sworn in as the 52nd Secretary of the Interior on March 1, 2017. He is a fifth-generation Montanan and former U.S. Navy SEAL Commander and built one of the strongest track records in the 114th Congress on cham-

pioning sportsmen’s access, conservation, regulatory relief, forest management, responsible energy development, and smart manage-ment of federal lands.

Growing up in a logging and rail town near Glacier National Park, Ryan has had a lifelong appreciation for conserving America’s natural beauty while honoring Teddy Roosevelt’s vision of multi-ple-use on our public lands. He has consistently led the efforts to renew the Land and Water Conservation Fund in Congress, and has also been a firm advocate for our nation’s sportsmen to gain access to our public lands with the SCORE Act and SHARE Act.

Zinke also coauthored the Resilient Federal Forest Act, which initiated new reforms for revitalizing America’s timber towns and preventing wildfires by emphasizing the collaborative process.
