Hello, I'm Mark Jacobs and I'd like to introduce you to Cheryl Adams. I first met Cheryl Adams over a decade ago as she was guiding college students on a field tour I was conducting on forest management. Since that time I’ve observed her emergence as a leader in the promotion and implementation of best forestry practices. Whenever sustainable forestry in the Lake States is the topic of discussion, Cheryl’s name is in the mix. We are fortunate to have her expertise in our backyard. Welcome, Cheryl!
Hi, I'm Katie Fernholz and am very pleased to introduce Jim Bowyer. Many of us know Jim Bowyer (including those of us that were enrolled in his infamous class at the U - Wood as a Raw Material - aka “Wood as a Raw Deal”!). This video gives us a chance to see a bit of the world of forestry from Jim’s vantage point. He reminds us of the challenges of change but also the power of experiencing alternative approaches. I’ve had the honor of working with Jim over the years, and I appreciate the perspective he brings. It is good to have him on the bus!
