Essays by scientists, policy analysts, public lands managers, and environmental advocates address issues raised by the scale of the controversial Northwest Forest Plan: ideas and practices of sustainable forestry, science and policymaking, protection of threatened and endangered species, and more.
The 15 original essays written by leading scientists, policy analysts, public lands managers, and advocates addresses four related issues regarding the future of our nation's forests: ideas and practices of sustainable forestry; science and policymaking; threatened and endangered species protection on forested lands; and the future of public forest lands management in the Pacific Northwest. Though the focus of the essays is regional, the co-editors' introduction and conclusion will make connections between the Northwest forests as a case study and scientific and policy dilemmas generally.
