WHY:  A conversation about sustainable forest management

1) Introduce anyone in the Central Oregon area who is interested in sustainable forest management to concepts being used at the state, national, and international scales; the Board of Forestry's strategic plan - the Forestry Program for Oregon; and Oregon's Indicators for Sustainable Forest Management - the Board's measuring sticks towards achieving sustainable forests in Oregon.

2) Identify possible linkages between these sustainable forestry initiatives and forest resource issues, policies, planning, management, practices, research, and monitoring in Central Oregon.

3) Discuss how private landowners, state and federal agencies, local governments, tribal governments, and non-governmental organizations can promote collaborative conversations on the meaning and implementation of sustainable forest management at a Central Oregon landscape scale.

Presenters/moderators: Jamie Barbour, Pacific Northwest Research Station, USDA Forest Service, and David Morman, Forest Resources Planning Program, Oregon Department of Forestry.
