Mentions boarding school and working in Wellington for a year before attending Victoria University for five years where he studied physics and philosophy. Refers to beginning to develop his political views while working and participating in anti-nuclear campaigns, and other environmental and social justice campaigns while he was a student and later. Discusses his involvement with the Native Forest Action Council (NFAC), the first organisation he "felt in-tune with", and meeting Kevin Hackwell and Cath Wallace. Discusses working for a period for the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR), working on Forest Service management plans for native forests. Mentions returning to the peace movement after he left the DSIR, becoming a spokesperson for the nuclear free campaign in 1983 and 1984. Talks about becoming involved in forest conservation again as a result of the West Coast Accord, and joining the Beech Action Committee which was supported by activists from Forest and Bird and the Maruia Society. Backgrounds the Accord, the end of the Forest Service and creation of the Department of Conservation, and opposition to the Beech Action Committee from some Forest and Bird and the Maruia Society members. Comments that from 1986 to 1996 forest conservation was no longer in the public consciousness and activism in general had declined. Refers to a national meeting in early 1996 and building interest in action on West Coast forests to oppose Timberlands' beech scheme. Mentions the roles of Kate McPherson and Eugenie Sage, a meeting at Inangahua and the Buller Conservation Group. Discusses planning beginning in October 1996 for a tree sitting and occupation at Charleston forest. Comments that there was a need to change the attitude of conservation groups that had agreed to not protest against the West Coast Accord. Talks about spending three days in the forest at the beginning of the occupation and then returning to Wellington. Mentions his main role was as a researcher and strategist, engaging with Ministers, using the Official Information Act, and realising that the campaign would be won in Wellington. Comments on the Shandwick files (Timberlands documents) being leaked to him and realising the need to attack their anti-environmental PR campaign. Mentions obtaining Timberlands' beech scheme plans and giving them to Kevin Smith who released them to the media. Talks about the Charleston occupation being maintained in shifts, other conservation groups supporting the campaign, suport from some Labour MPs, and Green Party support. Comments that his book "Secrets and Lies" about the anti-environmental PR campaign was instrumental in winning more support in the Labour Party. Mentions the Labour government decision to end logging. Refers to personality conflicts in the Government committee that decided the fate of West Coast forests, the need for confidentiality by the committee members, and the mistrust this created among some activists. Mentions the last NFA gathering in Charleston in 2002 after the final decisions about the forests were made. Reflects on conflicts that can occur between direct action and political lobbying and the need for direct action to be constructive communication. Concludes that NFA was an example of effective community campaigning, combining direct action, lobbying, public awareness raising and research. Mentions mistakes that were made, social relationships, burnout and leadership.
