Jessica Randall has lived in the Pacific Northwest for over 30 years, and now lives on 17 acres of forestland. She is both a sculptor and has studied Western and Eastern Medicine, holding a Master's Degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine. When she moved out to rural Jefferson County, she became aware of the Forest Practices that were happening all around her, such as clearcutting and the massive use of chemical herbicides. These practices were not only unhealthy for her patients, but also for the ecosystem. Feeling the responsibility of having herself contributed to Climate Change, she felt she should do something to mitigate some of this damage. Thus began her work as a conservationist. She applies her skills in diagnosis to understand the problems our forests now face, and where treatment may be most effective. She works with various groups, such as the Pacific Northwest Forest Climate Alliance and the Center for Economic Sustainability, and she chairs a local task force group called the Emergency Conservation Committee – Pacific Northwest (ecc-pnw.org).
