NCSSF’s conference “Forests for Tomorrow: Addressing U.S. Policy Challenges” engaged a diverse group of leading professional and stakeholders to share ideas and deepen thinking on the challenges facing U.S. forests. The participants developed ideas on the potential responses to those challenges and framed options to move policy forward. The Commission used the results of the conference to help refine their recommendations presented in the NCSSF Call to Action Statement (above). NCSSF hopes this meeting will serve as a catalyst to help people to work together more collaboratively in addressing the growing challenges of managing our Nation’s forests sustainably. The conference report summaries the meeting and the ideas generated.
