Private Forestry Summit
Opportunities Identified
On day two of the Private Forestry Summit the participants were asked to brainstorm opportunities and solutions that they felt could help address the challenges described in the afternoon of day one. The lists of “Opportunities Identified” include over 100 ideas. Some ideas appear for more than one challenge but they were left on each list. As action Plans are developed they could be combined but care should be taken to be sure the plan represents the needs for each challenge category.
