Graham, who is an environmentalist, believes he can do more good from the inside as the company's environmental consultant. He however finds that the company has no intention of hiring for such a position, and he doesn't want his father to pull strings for him. Ted, however, does speak to the board, and Graham is hired as WestCom's environmental consultant. But Graham's dealing with the operations manager, Jim Briggs, is less than harmonious. Graham quickly learns that WestCom as a company agreed to Ted's proposal solely to put a good face on the company, which had no plans to do any environmental stewardship, and continue with its clear cutting ways, and that Ted knew about all of WestCom's plans. They plan to clear cut Putnam - which is old growth - which had long been proposed as a nature reserve. WestCom intends to take as much timber as possible before the nature reserve transition process is completed. Sara learns of WestCom's intentions to clear cut, she who does whatever required to stop them, including illegal activity. Graham has to figure how best to support his environmental goals, whether it be from the inside or out. And the more personal problem is the strain their individual actions may cause between Graham and Ted. Meanwhile, Nick and Relic are having a disagreement about Relic's want to move Nick from his long time moorage spot on the marina. Written by Huggo See less
