| Title: |
Sustainable
Forest Policy |
| Description of Resource: |
Over
the years, as technology imporved and awareness increase, NHLA members
have become better stewards and managers of forest resources. We
now have more forest growing than 50 years ago in spite of a growing
demand for our products around the world. Because of a variety of
volunatry and mandatory state standards, NHLA members are now concerned
with things like soil and water quality, and Best Management Practices
(BMPs) to a greater degree than ever before. NHLA members themselves
were often involved in developing these standards. While we have
much to be proud of, we still face a number of problems which the
Principles of Sustainable Forestry were designed to address. |
