In an innovative blend of environmental and labor history, Workers and the Wild examines the changing terms on which battles over the proper use of nature were fought in the early twentieth century. Focusing on Oregon in the 1910s and 1920s, Lawrence M. Lipin traces labor's shift in thinking about natural resources. They began with the 'producerist' idea that resources and land, both rural and urban, should be put to productive use, and that those who do are most entitled to access to them. They later shifted to a consumerist' view under which resources should be available for public and recreational use. While labor was initially resistant to the elitism of protected nature preserves, working-class views changed as automobiles became more affordable, and gained increased access to national parks, forests, and beaches. They subsequently accepted the preservation of nature for recreation, and even began to pressure state agencies to provide more outdoor opportunities. While fish and game commissioners responded with ever more intensive hatchery operations, wildlife advocates began a push for designated "wilderness" areas. In these and other ways, the labor movement's shifting relationship to nature reveals the complicated development of wildlife policy and its own battles with consumerism."

Excerpt from The Oregon Sportsman, Vol. 6: January, 1918; Published Quarterly by Authority of the Oregon Fish and Game Commission HE sun was trying to shine through some thick clouds as we left the station last Saturday morning on one of our weekly winter fishing trips. We were all there with our baggage, and tools of the 'craft, as reports had come in that the conditions were ideal. We had swallowed this sort of bait before many times with indifferent success, but we were just as hopeful this time as we had been before. A fisherman must always be hopeful and wear the badge of optimism; that is part of his religion. The start was clearly propitious; the sun was shining; the weather man stated Fair today and tomorrow, and the reports we carried in our pockets - Conditions fine, now's the time for the steelheads.
