In this presentation, Claudine will talk about the conservation benefits of working forests in the Pacific Northwest. Forestry is a vibrant industry, providing many benefits to the local community and our environment. Participants will learn how forests are managed to provide sustainable, naturally sourced building products, and how they function to keep our air clean, protect our water, and provide habitat for fish and wildlife.
