USA: Sustaining America’s Forest Legacy
America’s 750 million acres of private and public forest lands are a
remarkable legacy of this nation’s commitment to forest conservation
and restoration over the past century. This forest legacy provides a
wide range of benefits and values including wood, clean water, wild-
life, recreation, green space, carbon uptake and storage, cultural
legacies and connections, and aesthetic beauty and inspiration—not to
mention jobs and tax revenues to support schools and local government.
But our world is changing, our forests are changing, and our forest
legacy is in peril (NCSSF 2008). stumpsdontlie@googlegroups.com
