Rethinking Forests Video Explains Why Management Is Important
This is a good introductory video (7 minutes) to help people understand the importance of managing forests to help the environment, rather than at the expense of the environment.
A century of deplorable timber harvest practices led to public outcry and ultimately ended logging in National Forests. That leaves public agencies with a growing job: fighting forest fires.
Responsible forest stewardship is a way to reduce the threat of fires, make our forests healthy, and give us public lands we can enjoy for generations.

Thanks to Andy P, without whom I wouldn't find half the cool stuff I share on this blog.

2011 Brings Back WSU's Family Forest Newsletter
Happy New Year, fellow forest stewards.
"Notes" is back. WSU once printed and distributed a newsletter to over 20,000 family forest landowners. They cut the program in 2005 due to funding shortages. WSU has resumed publication of an electronic-only version of Forest Stewardship Notes, to better serve the more than 215,000 families and individuals that control over 3.2 million acres of private forestland in Washington state.
Subscribe free by following the link in the newsletter.
First 2011 issue
I'm not confident that link will work forever. You might need to go to the WSU Extension Forestry web site, scroll down and find the newsletter there. Washington State Department of Natural Resources contributes to the publication.
