Nicholas Kent, 1997
Nicholas Kent was given the award in 1998. He received his B.S. in Wildland Management from Humboldt State University in 1982, and his Master of Forestry degree from the University of Idaho in 1985. From 1987-1988, Nick worked as a timber sale appraiser for Bohemia Inc. of Eugene, Oregon. From 1988-1992, he wrote THPs and administered harvest operations for various forestry consulting firms in Mendocino and Humboldt counties. In 1990, he earned his license as a Registered Professional Forester in California. Nick was star student in the CAL FIRE Archaeological Training Course in 1992, and 1996. Nick operates his own consulting firm serving timberland owners located primarily in Mendocino and Sonoma Counties. His experience includes preparing THPs and Non-Industrial Timber Management Plans, administering timber sales, appraising timberlands, and consulting with property owners on forestland conservation easements. He is an active player in professional forestry, having been elected Vice-Chairman of the California Chapter of the Association of Consulting Foresters of America. He is also active in CLFA and Forestland Owners of California. Through his activities in these professional forestry groups, Nick has demonstrated remarkable skills in demystifying archaeology to both fellow foresters and timberland owners. He explains and demonstrates the requirements for the conduct of archaeological surveys, the preparation of confidential documents, and the management of sites in ways that foster acceptance of the rules, understanding of resource issues, and pride in land stewardship and resource conservation. Nick's success to demonstrate and promote archaeological site stewardship has resulted in the identification and complete protection of dozens of highly significant prehistoric sites, such as housepit villages, petroglyph boulders, and chert quarries. He has a remarkably keen ability to distinguish prehistoric chert quarries from natural chert deposits.
