March 31, 2008 - It has now been two weeks since we completed the last of our 15 "face-to-face" public meetings. As you might imagine, it was a very interesting journey and revealed quite a bit regarding our collective concerns regarding the sustainability of forests in the South. We're in the process of posting the comments received from all of these meetings.

As promised, we'll complete our public input process with three more input sessions. To allow for a broad participation from throughout the region, these will be conducted using an internet platform. You will be able to access the meeting using a computer with access to the internet. These "webinars" will be held at the following times:

• Tuesday, April  8, 7:00-9:00 PM Eastern Time
• Wednesday April 16, 2:00-4:00 PM Eastern Time
• Wednesday April 16, 7:00-9:00 PM Eastern Time

Visit the Webinar page to register so we can send you details on how to join in.

Please also pass the word regarding these webinars, especially to those who missed out on the face-to-face meetings. And remember that you can always use the public input form to provide us with additional input.

Thank you for your continued interest and participation!
