The NACD Forest Resource Policy Group (RPG) gathered in Missoula, Mont. last week for a joint meeting with the National Association of State Foresters’ (NASF) Forest Resources Management Committee. The meeting also included numerous federal and state agencies and non-governmental organizations.
Attendees were treated to a welcome reception at Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation headquarters. The group also toured the Darby School District’s Fuels For Schools facility, viewed a small-diameter roundwood demonstration project at the Darby Community Library, and were able to see how local Forest Service leaders are tackling wildfire and bark beetle concerns in the wildland urban interface (look for the full story in the September issue of Forestry Notes).
