Weekly Post, NO PEBBLE MINE Pictures From Ground Zero by Robert Glenn Ketchum (Posts #426+)

 NO PEBBLE MINE Pictures From Ground Zero by Robert Glenn Ketchum


Since 1998, I have been working to protect southeast Alaska, and the fishery of Bristol Bay. The fishery is an annually renewable, BILLION-dollar-a-year industry that employs thousands and thousands of workers in multiple states. 2021 provided the largest commercial salmon catch in history (64-million+). There is no intelligent reason to allow the proposed development of the Pebble mine to go forward and imperil these resources. The United Tribes of Bristol Bay, the United Fishermen of Alaska, Trout Unlimited, Trustees For Alaska, and the Natural Resources Defense Council, all oppose the development. Even Alaskan Senator, Lisa Murkowski, has stated her opposition. The momentum is building. Now is the time to SAY NO TO THE PEBBLE MINE permanently!

NO PEBBLE MINE, Pictures from Ground Zero #549
NO PEBBLE MINE #549: 
The Wood Mountains had hundreds of glaciers fifty years ago, but the warming climate has melted most of them away. Clearly the one seen here is in retreat, but seeing one at all is a rarity. That meltwater pool is certainly a colorful spectacle.

Weekly Post: THE TONGASS: Stop the Cut, There are Salmon in the Trees (#201+) by Robert Glenn Ketchum

THE TONGASS:  Stop the Cut, There are Salmon in the Trees
by Robert Glenn Ketchum


In 1985, I began a 2-year commission to explore the Tongass rainforest, the largest forest in the United States Forest Service (USFS) system AND the largest temperate rainforest in the world. It was a unique, old-growth environment under siege from industrial logging. The resulting investigative book I published helped to pass the Tongass Timber Reform Bill, protect 1,000,000 acres of old-growth, and create 11 new wilderness areas. This is the story of how that was achieved.

THE TONGASS:  Stop the Cut, There are Salmon in the Trees, #343
Tongass, #343:  
It does not get more fresh than this. On days that you go fishing aboard any Boat Company boat, you literally eat what you catch for your dinner. On this particular day, we got in some excellent salmon fishing, and now the chef is preparing the fillets that we will have for our evening meal. Yummo!

The Chattahoochee National Recreation Area – A River Runs Through It by Robert Glenn Ketchum

The Chattahoochee National Recreation Area – 
A River Runs Through It
by Robert Glenn Ketchum



In 1985, I received a commission from Tom Cousins, a significant Atlanta real estate developer, collector, and on the board of the High Museum, to photograph the Chattahoochee National Recreation Area, which includes part of suburban Atlanta.

The leaves are falling from the trees in the Chattahoochee National Forest, but the understory will hold color for a much longer time.

Denali: Crown Jewel of our National Parks by Robert Glenn Ketchum

 Denali:  Crown Jewel of our National Parks

by Robert Glenn Ketchum



Starting in 1985, I spent 24yrs. visiting Alaska several times each year. Of the many places that I went, my favorite was to stay at Camp Denali, where I often lectured and taught workshops. These images were all created during those numerous visits.

Denali:   Crown Jewel of our National Parks #37
Denali #37:  
There are very few days of the year that Denali is visible, especially the summit, but on this day it remained breathtakingly clear all day. We followed the glacier valley to the last rise of the face where we got an amazing view of the double summit. We then turned north towards Camp Denali and flew over the sheer wall which was the preferred climbing route if you were approaching from the north.
