About Society of American Foresters - SAF National Convention
Salient examples date back to the Monongahela and Bitterroot clearcutting controversies: the rise of plantation and industrial forestry in the South; ecosystem management of federal lands; the modern spotted owl western forests protection plans; recent wildfire and insect attacks decimating western forests; and sophisticated management and restoration of natural forests ecosystems throughout the country.
Just this year, concerted new national opposition campaigns and media attention have focused on timber management and harvests for pellet mills, energy wood, and fire and insect disease salvage. Silviculture matters—to the forests and to the public. How we manage our forests with increasing public scrutiny is a complex scientific, technical, and social subject that will be a highlight of this year’s convention, along with more than 300 other natural resource presentations on diverse subjects.
