AGENDA: Research Project 1st Interview Overdue!

Objectives: Be able to (1) describe the general characteristics of forests / woodlands, (2) explain how forests are used by humanity and the impacts our actions in/on forests have on all parts of the biosphere, and (3) discuss how humans can rethink our relationship with forests to ensure indefinite existence for both

Warm-up: Why have forest fires been larger and more devastating in Western North America during the last 40 – 50 years as compared with fires from previous centuries? [5]

Class discussion: SFI and FSC: Greenwashing for timber and paper industry or legitimate consumer labeling programs? [10]
