Forest Management
Amplifying Advocacy for Sustainable Forest Management Policies
Forests provide a wide range of ecosystem services, contribute significantly to local economies, and support recreational access for sportsmen and women. Sustainable forest management goes hand in glove with managing habitat for wildlife, and CSF advocates for policies that support active forest management on private working lands and state and federal public lands to improve forest health, improve wildlife habitat for game and nongame species, and improve access for hunters and anglers.
FOREST POLICY PRIORITIES
“Active forest management is critical for creating quality wildlife habitat, improving forest health and resiliency, mitigating risk to catastrophic wildlife, increasing forest carbon sequestration and carbon storage capabilities, and increasing access for sportsmen and women.”

CSF FORESTRY ADVISORY COUNCIL
CSF established the Forestry Advisory Council to foster collaboration and dialogue between the forest industry and the hunting conservation community. The Council's primary mission is to work in close partnership to provide expert guidance and recommendations to CSF on policies and initiatives that facilitate active forest management, support a robust forest industry, improve wildlife habitat, and expand access opportunities for sportsmen and women. By bringing together representatives from forestry companies, trade associations, conservation organizations and the hunting community, the Council facilitates the sharing of knowledge, insights and best practices to help inform CSF's policy positions and advocacy efforts.
