The Sustainable Forestry Partnership s mission is to document and promote innovation in sustainable forestry and integrate this innovation broadly in both policy and practice. Every morning Tidepool brings you the latest news about the environment, community, and economic development. It's the news that crosses state and international boundaries and shapes the lives of people living on the Northwest rain forest. Tidepool also brings you original news and commentary every week. The Watershed Management Professional Program of the Executive Leadership Institute at Portland State University offers courses, workshops, research presentations and custom courses and trainings for watershed managers and people interested in, or working in, watershed protection.
Watershed management entails working with people, policies, and processes.
The WMPP is designed to increase competency in management, protection, restoration and administration of watersheds. The FSC supports environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial and economically viable management of the world's forests. FSC promotes responsible forest management by evaluating and accrediting certifiers, by encouraging the development of national and regional forest management standards, and by providing public education and information about independent, third-party certification as a tool for ensuring that the world's forests are protected for future generations. The National Network of Forest Practitioners is a grassroots alliance of rural people, organizations, and businesses finding practical ways to integrate economic development, environmental protection, and social justice. At its heart, the network is about connecting rural people with the goal of sharing knowledge and ideas, building a national voice, and contributing to the well-being of rural communities and the forests on which they depend.
