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.
This year, the U.S. Forest Service Forest Products Laboratory at Madison, Wisconsin celebrates its 100th year. At Evergreen, we've been tireless supporters of the lab's work for many years. Frankly, we know of no scientific organization worldwide that has done more on the research front to advance wood and paper technology, or to encourage the expanded use of renewable wood and paper products. We congratulate the lab and its director - Dr. Chris Risbrudt - and wish them another 100 years of success.
