Greg King (writer)

[1] King is credited with discovering and naming Headwaters Forest, in March, 1987, then the largest privately held ancient redwood grove still standing outside of parks.

At the Paper King covered issues that included redwood logging in Sonoma County by timber giant Louisiana Pacific Corporation.

In 1992 he earned a second Lincoln Steffens award for his 1991 article in the East Bay Express, "Child's Play," about the nexus between computer game manufacturers and the U.S.

In 2015/2016 Siskiyou Land Conservancy conducted a health survey in the town of Smith River, which is surrounded 1,000 acres (400 ha) of Easter lily fields where farmers apply 300,000 pounds of pesticides annually.

Reacting to pressure from Siskiyou Land Conservancy, state and federal agencies have found significant pesticide contamination of the Smith River estuary, which is among California's key refugia for several endangered species including coho salmon.

The Siskiyou Land Conservancy was instrumental in halting construction in 2019 of a proposed wind farm on biologically fragile ridge systems in western Humboldt County.

Since 2004 King has published several long form interviews in The Sun magazine, with subjects including Patti Smith, Bruce Cockburn, Daniel Ellsberg, Brian Willson, and Darryl Cherney.

His writing has also appeared in Sierra, the Portland Oregonian, the Sacramento Bee, the Santa Rosa Press Democrat, the Eureka Times-Standard, and Counterpunch.

[30] In 2018 King's retrospective essay on California redwood logging ran as lead article in the annual Humboldt Journal of Social Relations.
