What is our responsibility to forests? There are so many ways to answer this question, but I think most of us would agree that we share a responsibility to ensure forests are sustainable and there for future generations to benefit from.
If we accept this starting point — that forests deserve our support — then observing, understanding, and experiencing forests first-hand is a great way to start figuring out how you can actively promote forest sustainability. Think of it as beginning a personal relationship with a forest near you. Closer to home, people can support community forests and even the trees in their own yards. People can also support forests by choosing wood, paper, and other forest products that are sourced sustainably.
