Spencer Beebe is the world renowned founder of Eco Trust, an organization that combines conservation with culture and resource utilization as the driving engine for his work. In this episode of Fin And Fire With Jeff Mishler, I sit with Spencer in his Portland home and listen to stories of a life well lived during his efforts to save the last great places. Spencer is the man responsible for initiating the protection of the lower Sandy River in Oregon, Silver Creek in Idaho and the Kitlope River ecosystem in Canada, among MANY others.
About Jeff Mishler
Jeff Mishler is a fifth generation Oregonian whose life work is hard to quantify. Father, writer, photographer, television commercial director, environmentalist, video producer/distributor, website manager, hunter, angler and lifelong recreationist who lives a fly-by-the-seat-of-your pants mantra. If he’s not in his office writing another essay or developing a show concept, he’s chasing mallards and pheasants with his lab Hailey, running his jet sled up a local river to a sweet steelhead run, setting up on a screaming bull elk with bow in hand or conspiring with his small circle of equally affected steelhead bums while downing healthy portions of really good Oregon beer.
