Abstract
Joel Holtrop '74 and Jessica Holtrop '07 share reflections on their Forest Service experience as father and daughter, and as individuals committed to land stewardship -- o ne at a career's beginning and the other at a career's culmination. They are two members of a family imbued with lessons and values learned at Calvin College to care for the earth, its people and its resources. Joel is Deputy Chief for the United States Forest Service, responsible for oversight of the 193 million acre National Forest System of forests and grasslands located in 42 states and Puerto Rico. Jessica has been a wildland fire fighter in Montana and California and is currently at a backcountry workstation in the Bob Marshall Wilderness.
