June 10, 2008 - We've been working hard over the past couple of months! Through eighteen public meetings, we met with about 600 people who generated more than 2200 comments, sharing their thoughts on important issues for the Southern Forest Futures Project to consider. After a couple of months of sifting, sorting, and study, we're nearing completion of our interpretation of this input. We'll post the report to this website in the near future. We're already beginning to use the information to help form the set of scenarios we'll be evaluating through the Futures Project--scenario team will meet this month. In addition, we're starting to recruit the teams of scientists and analysts who will build forecasts, evaluate issues, and estimate the impacts of scenarios on future forests and their values. Expect to hear more from us on these topics in the next few weeks.
