We have been deluged by responses to Barry Wynsma's thoughtful essay on Forest Service leadership - or the lack thereof. Provided here is some feedback on the essay.
W.V. "Mac" McConnell writes from Florida. He is a U.S. Forest Service retiree whose Power Point presentations have appeared on our website many times. His latest efforts are nearby: an updated version of his earlier "Timber Resource Management" Power Point and a fascinating photograph, "One Landscape: Four Views," that shows what is happening on adjacent public and private forests at Deep Creek, near Townsend, Montana.

Our Evergreen colleague, Craig Rawlings, writes from Missoula, Montana weekly. His "Small-wood News" is one of many news digests we now post on our website to give you a more informed perspective on issues and events that are re-shaping the nation's forests products industry. "Small-wood" focuses mainly on news from the forest health, smallwood harvesting and biomass sectors. We hope you find it as interesting as we have. Click here for the "Small-wood News".
