FOREMAN’S INVOLVEMENT IN ECOLOGICAL SABOTAGE LED TO HIS ARREST FOR CONSPIRACY TO DAMAGE GOVERNMENT PROPERTY (A POWER LINE). IN EXCHANGE FOR PLEADING GUILTY, THE COURT AGREED TO DEFER FOREMAN’S SENTENCING FOR FIVE YEARS. (HE WAS IN THE SECOND YEAR AT THE TIME OF THIS INTERVIEW.)

In a way, the arrest is a great compliment. It says as much as anything that what we had done during the 1980s was effective. There are very, very few things I would do differently. You’ve got to remember that when we started Earth First!, we didn’t expect it to last that long.

The groups of John Muir, Aldo Leopold, and Bob Marshall were being transformed into something else, and there was a feeling that we had been compromising too much and making so many deals that we were forgetting our vision.

Earth First! was a tool to do a specific job: to try to get the conservation movement back on track, to get conservationists back to their roots, to keep us from compromising too much, to get away from organizational maintenance, and to talk about biological diversity. Earth First! succeeded beyond my wildest dreams.
