The sustainable wood production initiative.

Abstract

To address concerns about sustainable forestry in the region, the Focused Science Delivery Program is sponsoring a three year Sustainable Wood Production Initiative. The Pacific Northwest is one of the world's major timber producing regions, and the ability of this region to produce wood on a sustained yield basis is widely recognized. Concerns relating to the ecological, social and economic contributions of sustainable forestry, however, will play a major role in future wood production of the region.
