| A
model forest brings together and forms a partnership between individuals
and organizations sharing the common goal of advancing sustainable
forest management.
A model forest
provides a unique forum where these partners can gain a greater
understanding of conflicting views, share their knowledge, and combine
their expertise and resources to develop innovative, region-specific
approaches to sustainable forest management.
|
| A
model forest acts as a hands-on laboratory in which these leading-edge
techniques are researched, developed, applied and monitored.
A model forest
encompasses a working scale land base where participants have a
direct interest in and influence over the uses in the forest. The
rights of participating landowners, leaseholders and land managers
are not superseded by the model forest. |
