Tuesday morning in a federal courtroom in Portland, radical environmentalist Tre Arrow pleaded guilty to two counts of arson.

The incidents date back to spring 2001, when tension was thick throughout the Portland region over plans to log an area called “Eagle Creek.”

It was a time when Tre Arrow was a local celebrity. He was even called an ‘environmental rock star’ by Rolling Stone magazine.

Tre Arrow’s saga now appears to be at an end. To discuss Tuesday's court appearance, and Arrow’s story, is our environmental reporter, Rob Manning.
