National Commission on Science for Sustainable Forestry

In 2006, the Institute will complete a five-year effort as a founding member of the National Commission on Science for Sustainable Forestry (NCSSF). The Commission was established to improve the scientific basis of sustainable forestry practice, management and policy by funding targeted, user-driven research projects and accelerating the application of the results by resource managers in the field. It is comprised of leading scientists and forest management professionals from government, industry, academia, and environmental organizations who collaboratively plan and oversee forest research projects.
