The Future of Forestry in the Farm Bill
A live webcast will be streamed at 2:00 PM EDT at www.eesi.org/livecast. The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) and U.S. Nature4Climate invite you to a briefing on opportunities to advance climate-friendly forestry in this year’s Farm Bill. The forestry programs and incentives in the Farm Bill can provide greenhouse gas emission reduction benefits, as well as build resilience to climate impacts such as wildfire risk and extreme heat. At the same time, these programs generate jobs and present opportunities for innovation. During this briefing, panelists will explain forestry-related programs in the Farm Bill and cover essential forestry topics, including wildfire management, innovative wood products, carbon markets, and urban forestry.
