ATELIER VISIT WITH WRITER ANN STINSON: Recently we listened back through all of our ATELIER VISIT installments and, wow, it's a series just too damn good to leave scattered and languishing in the depths of our episode archives. So, for your pleasure, dear listener, we're gathering all these episodes together and running them back to back. These aren't interviews -- they're more intimate and creative than that -- and they're all unique in form and focus. Each is an atmospheric journey into the brilliant imaginative mind, process, and working environment of an artist sure to inspire you. You're welcome! ANN STINSON is the author of the memoir The Ground at My Feet: Sustaining a Family and a Forest (Oregon State University Press, 2021), a Finalist for the 2023 Oregon Book Award. In this visit, she takes us outside, amid the trees of her family's forest in southwest Washington. In her writing, Stinson veers away from the narcissistic conventions of contemporary memoir to give us a book that is brilliantly capacious in spirit and form. Deeply personal, attuned to the big issues, and yet lastingly artful, The Ground at My Feet is an emotionally resonant family portrait and also a deliciously complex journey through time, strata, and culture. It's a nature book for the jaded urbanite, a grief report for the saccharine-allergic, and an account of transformational forest stewardship imbued with reverence and realism. Mentioned in this episode: the Cowlitz River; Mt. Rainier; the Columbia River; Douglas Firs; saw-whet owl; the stories of the forest; Richard Powers's book The Overstory; tree stumps and tree rings; the Cowlitz tribe; being alive to the possibilities of the future and the past; understanding the past anew; Thas-e-muth; Simon Plamondon; the literary utility of coat pockets; Rite in the Rain notebook; walking a trail for 50 years; Himalayan Blackberry; losing oneself to one's work; listening to the land. Music: "Walking in Forests" by Ben Winwood; "Godnattsaga" by Beneath the Mountain; "Empty Beaches" by Paper Planes (All music used courtesy of the artists through a licensing agreement with Artlist) --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/in-the-atelier/support

Oregon State University research shows that the drier air may have a greater effect on Douglas fir trees than lack of rain. Karla Jarecke, a postdoctoral researcher in the OSU College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences, led the research and talks about the findings.

ATELIER VISIT WITH WRITER ANN STINSON: Atelier Visits take you into the creative workspaces of artists we admire. We're asking writers, visual artists, musicians, and filmmakers to bring you right inside their respective ateliers and share a bit about their process, their creative preoccupations, whatever is on their minds lately. It's an opportunity to spend a little while with various brilliant people who are busy doing good imaginative, artistic work. They'll speak to us directly about what life and creativity is like for them.  Ann Stinson is the author of the memoir The Ground at My Feet: Sustaining a Family and a Forest (Oregon State University Press, 2021).

Sarah Iannarone grew up in a union family in upstate New York. Rather than going to college out of high school, Sarah pursued a trade and worked as a chef in great food cities around the U.S.. Not long after moving from New Orleans to Portland in 1998, Sarah opened a small restaurant to connect the people in her working-class neighborhood with high quality food from local farmers at a fair price. It was even featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. Sadly, it is now shuttered due to the COVID crisis. After working without pay as a stay-at-home mom for several years, Sarah decided to enroll at Portland State University where she focused on planning sustainable cities. That's how she ended up spending the last decade helping urban leaders from around the world improve their places via the First Stop Portland program, best practices trips, and other educational endeavors, including lecturing to students here at home and to audiences around the world including in South Korea, China, Brazil and Canada. She resides in Mt. Scott-Arleta neighborhood, where 82nd Avenue meets Foster road, and can be spotted scooting around town on her e-bike, picking up groceries on her Xtracycle, running to catch the #10 & 14 buses, or enjoying the Douglas Firs in Mt. Scott Park park with her dog, Bacon.

Elke avond hoor je tijdens KINK IN TOUCH met Jasper Leijdens de beste nieuwe muziek, livesessies en interview met artiesten. In deze podcast hoor je het interview met GertJan van de band Douglas Firs. Afgelopen jaar kwam er al een album uit, maar nu is er al weer een nieuwe single: de band heeft zin om weer live te spelen.

In episode twee van seizoen twee krijg ik de coolness der basgitaar & contrabas over de vloer in de persoon van Jasper Hautekiet. Gerenommeerde artiesten als Milow, The Bony King of Nowhere, Admiral Freebee, Warhaus, Patrick Riguelle, Jasper Steverlinck en Douglas Firs deden én doen nog graag beroep zijn baskunsten. En dan hebben we zijn eigen projecten als The Rhythm Junks én zijn duo met bluesharpwonder Steven De Bruyn nog niet vermeld, immer bescheiden & low profile op het wereldwijde web als Jasper altijd is. Tot slot jaagt hij zijn contrabas door een looper pedaal om zijn 'famous last notes' de wereld in te sturen, met een eigen compositie. Dit alles vergezeld van een Duits glas minerale witte wijn, besproken door sommelier Bernard De Vriendt van VITIS.VIN.

Last summer wildfires ravaged Big Basin Redwoods State Park so devastatingly that in just one day, 97% of it burned, turning its cathedral-like redwoods to black and wiping out critical infrastructure. Now park officials are hoping to rebuild and reopen parts of the park. And although the devastation is immense, it has also provided a unique opportunity for officials to reimagine what the park might look like going forward. Though many species have been wiped out completely (don’t expect to see any Douglas Firs, for example), others, like the eponymous redwoods, are already showing signs of regrowth. Officials say their charred trunks could be an opportunity to educate visitors on wildfires and forest management. This summer, park leaders will convene stakeholders to weigh in not only on ecological education, but the indigenous history of the land, which has not previously been a prominent feature of the park’s educational materials. It will take years to eventually reopen the park, but parks management are emphasizing that when visitors are eventually allowed back, they will encounter a very different park from the one they last met.  Today on AirTalk, we’re learning more about how California parks are rebuilding after devastating wildfires. Questions? Comment below or give us a call at 866-893-5722. Guests: Julie Cart, environment reporter at Cal Matters and author of the recent piece, “Battered, burned but alive: Time will heal park’s wounds, but it needs big money, too”; she tweets @julie_cart Joanne Kerbavaz, senior environmental scientist at Big Basin Redwoods State Park Adrienne Dunfee, deputy monument manager at the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument; she was agency administrator representative on last year’s Bobcat Fire

Today we celebrate the savior of the Royal Botanic Garden, Kew, and the fir tree described by Meriwether Lewis as "Fir No. 5." We'll learn about the man who discovered a plant that was called "the ugliest yet most botanically magnificent plant in the world" by Joseph Dalton Hooker. And, we celebrate the 124th birthday of the founding of the New England Botanical Club as well as the Landscape architect who helped create the New American Garden. Today's Unearthed Words feature poems about February We Grow That Garden Library™ with a book that reveals the Ingenuity of Animal Survival - in and out of our gardens. I'll talk about a lovely gift for a gardener - something that will likely become an heirloom in your garden family. And then we'll wrap things up with the story of the Happy Huntsman's Tree.

I'd love to meet you in the group.   Important Events 1799  Today is the birthday of the British botanist, pomologist, pioneer orchidologist, and flower show organizer, John Lindley. Lindley's dad was a nurseryman, and he ran a commercial nursery in England. Despite his array of botanical talents and knowledge, the family was constantly under financial duress. Growing up in his father's nursery, helped Lindley acquire the knowledge to land his first job as a seed merchant. This position led to a chain of events that would shape Lindley's life. First, he met the botanist William Jackson Hooker. And, second, Hooker introduced him to Sir Joseph Banks. Lindley worked as an assistant in the Banks herbarium. In 1938 after Banks died, when the fate of Kew Gardens hung in the balance, it was Lindley who recommended that the gardens belonged to the people and that they should become the botanical headquarters for England. The government rejected Lindley's proposal and decided to close the garden. But, on February 11, 1840, Lindley ingeniously demanded that the issue be put before the Parliament. His advocacy brought the matter to the people; the garden-loving public was not about to lose the Royal Botanic. And, so, Lindley saved Kew Gardens, and William Hooker was chosen as the new director. From his humble beginnings to his incredible standing in English Botanical History, Lindley is remembered fondly for so many accomplishments. For 43 years, Lindley served as secretary to the Royal Horticultural Society, which is why the RHS Library is called the Lindley Library. And, there are over 200 plant species named for Lindley. There is "lindleyi", "lindleyana", "lindleyanum", "lindleya" and "lindleyoides". Lindley once told his friend, the botanist Ludwig Reichenbach, "I am a dandy in my herbarium." Without question, Lindley's favorite plants were orchids. Before Lindley, not much was known about orchids. Thanks to Lindley, the genus Orchidaceae was shortened to orchid – which is much more friendly to pronounce. And, when he died, Lindley's massive orchid collection was moved to a new home at Kew. Lindley's friend, the botanist Ludwig Reichenbach, wrote a touching tribute after his Lindley died. He wrote, "We cannot tell how long Botany, how long science, will be pursued; but we may affirm that so long as a knowledge of plants is considered necessary, so long will Lindley's name be remembered with gratitude." And here's a little-remembered factoid about Lindley - he was blind in one eye.   1806   Today Meriwether Lewis described a tree he referred to in his journal as "Fir No. 5." The tree in question was the Douglas-fir. Later, on February 9, Lewis added more details about the fir and sketched the distinctive bract of the cone in his journal. On their way back across the northern Rocky Mountains of Idaho and Montana, Lewis and Clark would encounter the inland variation of the species, the Rocky Mountain Douglas-fir. The Douglas-Fir gets its name from the botanist David Douglas, who was the first to grow the tree in England successfully. When Douglas met an early death, his friend and teacher, the botanist John Goldie, planted a Douglas-Fir next to his house to remember his young friend. The lifespan of a Douglas-Fir Tree ranges from 500 to 1,000 years. And, Douglas-Firs are very large trees - reaching heights of 60 feet tall and up to 25 feet wide. In the wild, they sometimes reach over 200 feet tall. This massive tree is too big for residential landscaping. The bark of a Douglas Fir gets thicker over time, and that dense layer of bark enables the tree to survive forest fires with only some blackened bark.   1806  Today is the birthday of the Austrian botanist and explorer Friedrich Welwitsch. Welwitsch found a second home in the country of Portugal, where he served as the director Of the botanic gardens in Lisbon. Welwitsch had some amazing experiences during his lifetime, but the pinnacle was clearly the day he discovered the Welwitschia mirabilis. The mirabilis refers to its unusual form. Portugal had to send him to Africa to collect plants -  which he did for seven years. In 1860,  Welwitsch discovered a strange-looking plant that is actually a tree - a conifer and a gymnosperm - in terms of botanical classification. The Africans called it "Mr. Big." The Welwitschia is endemic to Namibian deserts, and it's also present on the Namibian coat of arms. When Welwitsch discovered this unique plant which can live for more than 1500 years and bears only two leaves in its entire lifecycle, he was so astonished that he "could do nothing but kneel down and gaze at it, half in fear lest a touch should prove it a figment of the imagination." Imagine a two-tentacled octopus with very long arms and a red floral bouquet for a head, and you have the Welwitschia mirabilis. Welwitschia's two leaves grow continually throughout the life of a plant. The pair of leaves are broad, leathery, and belt-shaped. Incredibly, some specimens, tested with carbon 14, are over 2000 years old. There is a spectacular photo of Welwitsch seated behind a large welwitschia mirabilis. He's wearing a pith helmet, and the plant's leaves are clearly many times longer than Welwitschia's arms and legs, which are mostly obscured by the plant. In 1862, Joseph Dalton Hooker described the plant in The Gardener's Chronicle as "the ugliest yet botanically magnificent plant in the world among centuries-old plants."   1896   Today the New England Botanical Club was founded by seven Professional and ten amateur botanists. The club was established to study New England and Alpine Flora. Dues were set at $2/year.  The late 1800s ushered in several scientific organizations - like the American Philosophical Society, the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, the Massachusetts Audubon Society, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. What distinguished the New England Botanical Club was the fact that it welcomed amateurs as well as professionals. The early meetings were held in member's homes. Charles Sprague Sargent of the Arnold Arboretum was reputed to be a wonderful host. The club began as a gentleman's club; it would not officially admit women until 1968. Focused on botany, the group went on regular field trips - and they published a scholarly Journal called Rhodora. The group was looking for a one-word title, and so they held a vote. The options were Rhodora, Oakesia, Wasonia, Bigelovia, Gayia, and Nova anglia.  The name Rhodora was created to reflect the clubs focus on studying the flora in the natural range of Rhododendron lapponicum - with the common name Lapland rosebay. Today, the NEBC is a non-profit organization that promotes the study of plants of North America, especially the flora of New England and adjacent areas.   1935    Today is the birthday of the influential landscape architect and author James Van Sweden. Van Sweden was an early pioneer in developing a new look and feel for American Landscapes, and his style is called The New American Garden.  signature elements of the new American Garden are broad sweeps of flowering perennials and wild grasses.  In 1975, van Sweden partnered with Wolfgang Oehme, and together they started their firm now known as Uehme van Sweden or OvS. Many gardeners remember that James created a purple Meadow for Oprah Winfrey's South Bend Indiana estate. In his book, architecture in the garden, Van Sweden wrote, "As I pulled up to Oprah Winfrey's front door for the first time, my immediate impression was that her house was divorced from its setting. Built in an elegant French-Chateau style, the house was visibly uncomfortable with the matter-of-fact Midwestern farmland that surrounded it. Nothing had been done to ease the transition from one to the other—  the house and the site weren't talking. Over the next four years, we worked together to create an architectural context around the house, including newly-installed terraces and walls. The materials we selected, brick framed with the Limestone, echo the house, yet this architecture also conformed to the surrounding countryside, adopting its long, horizontal lines. In this way, we quite literally pulled out into the site." Van Sweden's books include The Artful Garden: Creative Inspiration for Landscape Design (2011), Architecture in the Garden (2003), and Gardening with Nature (1997).

Approach! The incrusted surface shall upbear thy steps And the broad arching portals of the grove Welcome thy entering. —  William Cullen Bryant, American Romantic poet, A Winter Piece   I stood beside a hill Smooth with new-laid snow, A single star looked out From the cold evening glow. There was no other creature That saw what I could see-- I stood and watched the evening star As long as it watched me. —  Sara Teasdale, American Lyric poet, February Twilight   Grow That Garden Library Winter World by Bernd Heinrich The subtitle of this book is: The Ingenuity of Animal Survival. The author of numerous bestselling and award-winning books, Bernd Heinrich, is a professor of biology at the University of Vermont. He divides his time between Vermont and the forests of western Maine. From flying squirrels to grizzly bears, and from torpid turtles to insects with antifreeze, the animal kingdom relies on some staggering evolutionary innovations to survive winter. Unlike their human counterparts, who must alter the environment to accommodate physical limitations, animals are adaptable to an amazing range of conditions. Examining everything from food sources in the extremely barren winter landscape to the chemical composition that allows certain creatures to survive, Heinrich's Winter World awakens the largely undiscovered mysteries by which nature sustains herself through winter's harsh, cruel exigencies.

The Happy Huntsman's Tree is an Oak tree that honors the 8th Earl of Harrington -  Charles Augustus Stanhope, who died on this day at the age of 73. When he died, Charles was one of the largest landowners in England, with estates totaling over 13,000 acres. Charles was the first business person to open a store in London under his own name. Selling fruit from his garden, his store closed after a few seasons. Gardeners would be delighted by his home at Elvaston Castle, which was settled among the most magnificent topiary; trees shrubs and hedges were fashioned into men, animals, pyramids, and fans. Even though one of his arms was useless, Charles was an active person.  He was one of the pioneers of polo in England, and he also played as an old man.  Vanity Fair published a caricature of him playing polo - sitting atop his horse with his potbelly and white flowing beard. And, Charles was an avid Huntsman. He was a master of the South Knot Hunt for over 30 years. During hunting season, he hunted six days a week. His obituary said that he never missed a hunt unless he happened to be laid up with broken bones from a fall. At Elvaston castle, there was a little workshop where Charles liked to tinker with projects. At the end of his life, Charles was badly burned while working there. He was making a picture frame, and he accidentally bumped his left hand against the pipe of a stove. After treating it with oil, he developed blood poisoning and died. Charles left specific instructions in his will that upon his death, his hounds should be let out to hunt.  Family lore says that when Charles was buried, the hounds bounded into the graveyard and gathered around the oak tree near the family crypt. They would not leave and could not be coaxed away. The tree the hounds were fixated on was dubbed the Happy Huntsman's Tree. There's a small plaque beneath it oh today it still stands in the graveyard of Saint Bartholomew's Church Derbyshire ("Dar-bee-shur").

Hotter, drier summers in Oregon are killing Douglas firs and some other native Oregon tree species, according to the Oregon Department of Forestry. Since 2012, Oregon has experienced a drought each summer, and climate scientists only expect the state to become hotter and drier. Oregon Department of Forestry forest pathologist Sarah Navarro tells us what that means for Oregon’s trees.

Je kent Gertjan Van Hellemont als de bezieler en zanger van Douglas Firs. Ze hebben net een nieuwe plaat uit 'Hinges of Luck'. Pareltje. Maar misschien ken je Gertjan ook als de host van zijn eigen Radio 1 podcast Wanderland waar hij al 2 zomers lang gaat wandelen met bekende artiesten. Wat heeft Gertjan met café The Barfly in Montreal? Waarom is hij blij met zijn basisopleiding Latijn Wiskunde? In deze podcast kom je ook te weten hoe de jonge Gertjan op 14-jarige leeftijd overdonderd werd door een erg mooi country nummer. En waarom is zijn gevoel van vrijheid zo sterk?

"Een briljant idee en complete bullshit liggen soms héél dicht tegen elkaar." (Ruben Block) Een hele zomer lang ging Gertjan Van Hellemont (alias Douglas Firs) elke week wandelen met een collega-muzikant. Deze laatste aflevering verschijnt niet geheel toevallig precies op de dag waarop "Colossus" uitkomt: de nieuwe plaat van Triggerfinger. Ruben Block en Gertjan hebben afgesproken in de Kalmthoutse Heide, waar ze zich verwonderen over het buitenaardse landschap en ondertussen de stilte van blatende schapen vergelijken met het geweld van een elektrische gitaar in een Hiwatt versterker. Wanneer de stem in de wandel-app van Ruben roept dat ze ver genoeg hebben gewandeld, zoekt hij een geschikt plekje in het bos om daar op een boomstam in primeur en helemaal akoestisch een nieuw nummer uit de plaat te spelen.

"Hoe drukker ik het heb, hoe meer inspiratie er komt." (Senne Guns) Een speciale aflevering van Wanderland deze week, waarin Gertjan Van Hellemont (alias Douglas Firs) voor één keer niet gaat wandelen, maar samen met Senne Guns een boottocht op de Leie maakt. "De Krab" is de naam van de motorboot die de twee vrienden op een mooie zomeravond meeneemt langs de Coupure in Gent om uiteindelijk het prachtige stukje Oude Leie op te varen. Daar aangekomen zet Senne de motor even uit om er dobberend onder een ondergaande zon een nieuw nummer te spelen. Gewoonlijk vragen we aan artiesten die mee gaan wandelen in Wanderland om een muzieklijst samen te stellen met nummers die mooi passen bij een wandeling. Deze keer maakte Senne voor ons een aangepaste versie voor tijdens het varen, die hij zelf Senne Guns’ Extreem Eclectische Vaarmuziek Voor Verschillende Snelheden heeft getiteld. Beluister hem hier op Spotify.

"Mensen zijn het soms wat verleerd om tijd te maken en nog echt te luisteren naar iemand." (Bert Ostyn) Gertjan Van Hellemont (alias Douglas Firs) gaat deze zomer nog drie keer wandelen met een collega-muzikant in de podcast Wanderland. Bert Ostyn (Absynthe Minded) neemt Gertjan mee door de streek waar hij woont: Destelbergen. Samen wandelen ze langs de knotwilgen richting het Damvalleimeer, terwijl ze het hebben over de comeback van Absynthe Minded, de klank van de Arabische canun, en hoe je precies een pijlstaart kan herkennen. Aan het einde van de wandeling trekken ze nog even het bos in om daar op een brugje over het water van de Oude Schelde een akoestische live-versie op te nemen van een nieuwe Absynthe Minded track. We vroegen nadien aan Bert Ostyn om voor ons een muzieklijstje samen te stellen met muziek die ideaal is voor tijdens een wandeling. Zijn Wanderlist vind je terug op Spotify.

"Te veel tijd met jezelf doorbrengen is ook niet goed." (Eefje De Visser) In de slotaflevering van deze tweede reeks van Wanderland trekt Gertjan Van Hellemont (alias Douglas Firs) nog eens de grens over met een collega-muzikant. Eefje De Visser wil hem graag tonen dat - ondanks wat iedereen denkt - Den Haag tóch een mooi stadje is, met veel verborgen kanten, een vreemde stoeptegel en een extreem grote fiets. Aan het eind van de wandeling leent Gertjan haar zijn geliefde Gibson gitaar uit voor een prachtige, akoestische live-versie van een nummer dat we heel anders gewend zijn.

May 2016 by Douglas Firs

Douglas Firs is een Gentse indie band rond Gertjan Van Hellemont. Op hun tweede album "The Long Answer Is No" staat "Don't Buy The House", een heerlijk rockende song waarin Gertjan zich kwaad maakt op verkeerde keuzes, muzikaal geïnspireerd door The Beatles, The Velvet Underground en Michael Jackson.

Welke betere manier om het muzikale jaar in te zetten dan een nieuwe Clubcircuit podcast. Mark Lanegan mag de feestelijkheden open, maar ook Great Mountain Fire, De Kift, de portables, Aimee Mann, Mala, Gullfisk en Carlton, Mayas Moving Castle, Douglas Firs, Fence, Bon Iver, Arno en Motorhead zorgen voor de nodige muzikale vibes, zowel online als in de clubs. De reporters van dienst voelen de portables aan de tand en laten ook de mannen van Fence, die tekenden voor de comeback van 2012, aan het woord.

So, after a couple of slightly misnumbered podcasts - 245 coming after 243, and then 244 having to come after that to try and correct the mistake, hoping two wrongs might , if not make a right exactly, at least gloss over the original wrong somewhat - we are back on track with #246.  In the right order and everything.There's no real theme to this week's podcast, although we have a fair bit of new stuff in there - some by The Walkmen, The Douglas Firs, The Spook School, Monster Island and a couple of others.Next week I was thinking of doing The Ivorycast, with loads of piano music, and then perhaps one about freak folk next, assuming I manage to successfully tie down what the fuck that is.  Dirty, psychedelic folk music, as far as I can tell, is about the easiest way to approximate it.  Ah well, a bit of digging should do the trick easily enough. In the meantime, however, this:01. Yusuf Azak - Smile Tactics (00.22)02. Glass Animals - Cocoa Hooves (07.16)03. Stoney and Meatloaf - Jessica White (14.44)04. Elbow - On a Day Like This (17.35)05. The Walkmen - Vermeer 65 (26.00)06. Silkies - Red (32.07)07. The Douglas Firs - Backroads (37.01)08. The Spook School - Here We Go (39.44)09. Professor Lafferty - A New Definition of Love (Part 1) (46.47)10. Monster Island - Ferris Wheel (52.46)11. Zucchini Drive - Gospel Oak (58.47)

Yes it's another Unplug the Jukebox Special! This week Paul Lane joins me from Unplug the Jukebox for a podcast so packed we had to make it in two parts! Helped largely by cans of wonderful Polish Tyskie beer we waxed lyrical, ranted,  raved and generally spouted. In this part we played full unadulterated tracks and by The Rising, Mash Attack, Curxes, Butterflies on Strings, The Douglas Firs, Bourdeauxxx and the mighty Marvin B Naylor as well as mentioning Marvin's brilliant Diary of A Busker blog. Part 2 is well...drunker....

How do your socks feel about it?, a new kind of retail experience, Sandwich knows his Douglas Firs, Farewell to Tight (actually The Sun Also Tights), white shoes, Los Altos Rancho Vista Wi’z, dippin’ dots, our favorite indie bands.
