Title:  Restoration Land Management: A collaborative effort between
federal, state, private landholders and conservation/environmental
coalitions.   

Presented By: Lloyd McGee, President, Northeast Washington Forestry
Coalition

Meeting Topic:

Lloyd McGee will talk with us about the Northeast Washington Forestry
Coalition's pursuit of collaboration to solve the knotty issues
surrounding land management in our national forests. The NWFC's specific
objectives are:

* To design and implement forest restoration and fuels reduction
projects that demonstrate innovative approaches to forestry.

* To demonstrate how a diverse coalition of stakeholders can work
together to successfully promote restoration forestry and community
protection from wildfire.

* To use the projects to educate the public about the ecological and
socio-economic benefits of restoration forestry and fuels reduction
strategies.

* To develop model forest restoration and fuels reduction projects that
can be emulated in other regions of the country.
