Diverse coalition asks Congress to include private forests in climate policy

E&E News reports in Climatewire (subscription) today on the Forest Climate Working Group's consensus platform for including private forest lands in national climate legislation. NASF is one of 30 members in the diverse coalition representing the forest products industry, conservation and wildlife groups, foresters, private forest owners, academics, and carbon finance groups. The group's recommendations advocate helping forest owners by rewarding them for management practices that capture and store carbon and thereby offset industrial carbon emissions.
