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.

Forest Science & Policy
The non-profit Evergreen Foundation maintains close ties with many of the world's foremost forest scientists and biologists. In this section, we present selected reports highlighting their research on a wide variety of topics that we believe are central to the need for a greater reliance on applied science in the management of public lands in North America, especially the United States. New reports are posted as we receive them.
