  • Endangered Forests Endangered Freedoms America’S 10 Endangered National Forests Foreword Dr
    Endangered Forests Endangered Freedoms America’s 10 Endangered National Forests Foreword Dr. Edward O. Wilson The past two years have witnessed a renewed clash of two opposing views on the best use of America’s national forests. The Bush administration, seeing the forests as a resource for economic growth, has proposed a dramatic increase in resource extraction. Operating on the premise that logging is important to the national economy and to jobs in the national forests, it evidently feels justified in muting or outright overriding the provision of the 1976 National Forest Management Act (NFMA) that explains forest plans "provide for diversity of plant and animal communities." In contrast, and in defense of NFMA, environmental scientists continue to argue that America’s national forests are a priceless reservoir of biological diversity and an aesthetic and historic treasure. In this view, they represent a public trust too valuable to be managed as tree farms for the production of pulp, paper and lumber. Scientists have reached a deeper understanding of the value of the National Forest System that needs to be kept front and center. Each forest is a unique combination of thousands of kinds of plants, animals and microorganisms locked together in seemingly endless webs and competitive and cooperative relationships. It is this biological diversity that creates a healthy ecosystem, a self-assembled powerhouse that generates clean water and fresh air without human intervention and free of charge. Each species of a forest, or any other natural ecosystem, is a masterpiece of evolution, exquisitely well adapted to the environment it inhabits.

  • One Tote, One Tree
    Carlisle TyrFil has Planted Over 200,000 Trees Over the past 10 years, there were an average of 67,000 wildfires annually and an average of 7.0 million acres burned annually, according to the National Interagency Fire Center. Wildfires are absolutely detrimental to our natural resources. Carlisle TyrFil’s One Tote, One Tree program, with the help of our customers, has made significant contributions to American Forests for reforestation efforts in North America, listed below are several projects: 2021 Longleaf Pine Forest Region in Florida The 2021 donation will help plant 300,000 new tree saplings in the longleaf pine forest. This forest has witnessed a devastating decline in its old-growth longleaf habitat that once blanketed 90 million acres across the southeastern United States. Much of the original forestation has been lost or damaged due to agriculture and the suppression of natural, low-intensity wildfires, which together have dealt an unprecedented blow to biodiversity and the natural forest health of the region. Many birds and animals have been negatively impacted, especially the red cockaded woodpecker which relies on the loosely spaced longleaf pine for its survival. The survival of the woodpecker is critical to many other species, such as chickadees, flying squirrels, wood ducks, and owls. Through their industrious pecking, the woodpeckers create habitats for these species where none would otherwise exist. 2020 The Jefferson National Forest and the George Washington National Forest areas in Virginia & the Ouachita National Forest in Arkansas The reforestation effort in Virginia will support the Jefferson National Forest and the George Washington National Forest areas.

In 1995 and 1996, MTDC produced another training video “Making a Crew” (MTDC Staff 1995 and 1996). This video focused on the workers, not the supervisors. While interviewing Forest Service employees during the production of this program, the project leader noted that numerous changes had occurred in the Forest Service’s work culture. This insight led to the white paper, “A Changing Forest Service Work Culture: Training New Leaders” (MTDC Staff 1997). The white paper had two purposes: to present some of the changes taking place in the Forest Service’s work culture and to discuss some sociological reflections on the training of Forest Service crew leaders. The paper concluded by recommending that the training program for supervisors of field crews be updated. A project to update the supervisor training program began in January 2000. The project team found that traditional seasonal crews had become almost extinct in the Forest Service.
