Talk:David Foreman

Untitled
Moved from Dave Foreman, which now redirects here.-SV 21:55, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC) Dave Foreman was one of the founders of Earth First!, the radical ecology movement in the United States. Generally, Foreman is a "wilderness" EarthFirst!er, and might not be so inclined to agree with some of the social justice positions that many EF!ers take today.

Since 1989, when Foreman was arrested by the FBI, he has been less active. He claims that he was set up. Foreman's lasting contribution to Earth First! is the creation of a guide to monkey wrenching, which is now in its third edition.

Written Works

 * Confessions of an Eco-Warrior

Time in OCS

 * After graduating from college in 1968, and attending the Officers Candidate School of the US Marine Corps for a mere two and a half months, Foreman's radicalism began to take shape.

Unless I am mistaken, USMC Officer Candidate School is either one 10-week course or two 6-week courses over two summers. Thus, Foreman's "two and a half months" would not be "mere" since that is apporoximately 10 weeks. Perhaps he was in OCS for two and a half weeks? CrypticBacon 23:40, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

2023: Objective obituaries can now be used to make this page balanced
I have long regarded this wikipedia page as unfairly skewed towards Foreman's notoriety born in the 1980s in his Earth First! collaborations. But my own familiarity with him began when he and John Davis spun off from the Earth First! publication and its leaders to create their own science-leaning collaborations with the science of conservation biology — and that collaboration deserves even more attention in this wikipedia entry. That new collaboration began with the launch of the journal Wild Earth. Now that Foreman is dead, there are objective obituaries to use for editing this wikipedia entry. Thus far, I have only edited the first para, for which I cited an Oct 2022 article in the Arizona Daily Star newspaper. I will continue to do more editing in the days ahead, as the current version skews toward his 1980s activism and ignores his strong collaboration with conservation biologists (and thus significant accomplishments) in the final 3 decades of his life.Cbarlow (talk) 17:45, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
