Future of Washington’s
Working Forest Land Base

Semiahmoo Resort

Forum Sponsors

The Second and Third Progress Reports are available online!

The centerpiece of theNovember 20-21 Forum was the findings of the five studies on timber economics, forest structure, and forest conversion authorized by the 2005 Legislature in response to the 2004 Forum. The Forum was constructed to consider the findings of the studies, as presented by the researchers and found in the reports, and propose potential policy outcomes from those findings. Below we have those studies presented in streaming video with their corresponding slide presentations. If you have trouble viewing the presentations, please refer to the "Important Viewing Information" section of this web page.
