Seeking
Input for the 2003 National Report on Sustainable Forests
In the spring of 2002, the Roundtable on Sustainable
Forests will host public workshops to elicit format
and content input for the 2003 National Report on Sustainable
Forests. The roundtable provides a forum for public
and private groups and individuals to share approaches
and perspectives on sustainable forest management. Public
input is being solicited to help ensure that the concerns
and interests of non-Federal entities are considered.
Although the report is national in scope, in many instances
the information will be drawn from and be of use at
the subnational level. For more information please visit
http://www.sustainableforests.net
or http:

Robert Hendricks.

Global
Leaflet presents highlights of policy, research,
technical cooperation, development, and conservation
activities in which the Forest Service is involved worldwide.
Its purpose is to demonstrate the breadth and importance
of international collaboration on natural resource management
issues and to share information within the Forest Service
and with our partners in the United States and around
the world.
International Programs (IP) is dedicated to applying
the wealth of skills within the Forest Service to foster
sustainable forest management globally. We encourage
linking the agency's researchers, foresters, wildlife
biologists, hydrologists, policymakers, and disaster
specialists, with partners overseas to work on assignments
in the areas of technical cooperation, policy assistance,
and disaster coordination. Our focus is on key natural
resource problems and issues in countries with significant
forest resources and important forest-related trade
with the United States. International cooperation results
in improved sustainable natural resource practices in
partner countries, develops the skills of Forest Service
personnel, and brings back knowledge and innovative
technologies to the United States.
