Our February program will feature two speakers who have spent much of their careers on the opposite sides of battles over logging on national forest lands in Idaho. But, Bill Higgins with the Idaho Forest Group (a major timber company in North Idaho) and John McCarthy with The Wilderness Society have a story to tell that some may find surprising. Conservationists, loggers, and community leaders are finding important areas of agreement on how forests can be managed to further both economic and ecological goals. Please join us for a fascinating discussion of collaborative approaches to protecting and restoring our national forests.
