I would hope that Minnesotans view healthy, unfragmented forests as vitally important and that they recognize the essential relationship between a healthy economy and forest-based communities and a healthy sustainable environment.Necessary cookies are absolutely essential for the website to function properly. What do you hope Minnesotans perceive about their forests today? Work continues in a number of ways, including the MyWoods website, the recent carbon conference, legislative initiatives stemming from knowledge gained through the VFVC initiative, heightened awareness and increased attention to ECS in forest management, and a number of activities related to biomass energy development in the state. In what way or ways do you see the work continuing that grew out of the VFVC initiative? When I view Minnesota’s forests in this context I am reminded how important it is to actively manage our forests in order to leave for future generations healthy forests, ecological values, and robust forest-based economies. The wood products industry has, in fact, all but disappeared from Colorado resulting in a situation where land managers have few management options as an example, the Forest Service is paying $2,000 per acre and more to clear mountain pine beetle killed timber with no prospect of an economic return from trees removed. I recently had an opportunity to visit, with a team of land managers, the forests of central Colorado, where a 40-year history of non-management has negatively impacted the forests, forest values including recreation, and the wood products industry. What new experience have you had recently that impacts the way you view Minnesota’s forests? Evolutionary change is not a given there is, and was for a time through VFVC, a better way. Multiple studies have also examined how white noise may affect human sleep. VFVC showed that rapid change in the forest sector is possible with inspired leadership involving multiple stakeholders and significant funding. Researchers have studied the effect of white noise on humans for many years, finding evidence it can reduce crying in infants, improve work performance, and potentially help counteract symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) 5. What aspect or aspects of the VFVC initiative will have the most lasting value for your organization, the forest or the state?
