Determined to protect the world’s forests from over-logging, John “Jake” Kreilick has never shied away from challenging situations since graduating from Wittenberg in 1984. Now, after a decade of global study, peaceful protests, an arrest, trial and imprisonment related to his environmental conservation efforts, Kreilick again returned to his alma mater, Nov. 14-16, as a prestigious Wittenberg Fellow. Awarded in recognition of significant accomplishments in a chosen field, Kreilick’s Wittenberg Fellow designation places him among an elite group of Wittenberg alumni. During his two-day visit, Kreilick discussed the ethical and political dilemmas he faces as an environmental activist, met informally with students and served as the keynote speaker for a history department colloquium titled “National Forests and Federal Public Lands in the 21st Century: Private Interests or Public Trust?” on Nov. 15. A history major at Wittenberg, Kreilick went on to earn his M.S. in environmental studies from the University of Montana in 1990. A former intern with the National Wildlife Federation, Kreilick has worked in Australia and currently works in Missoula, Mont., as the National Forest Protection Alliance’s campaign coordinator.
