Dear Public Policy learning track team members,
I would like to initiate e-mail discussions within our team prior to our August 14 dinner in Minneapolis. The basic question that you should answer is: What policy-related questions would you like to have answered while we are in Scandanavia? Please send your responses to all of the e-mail addresses listed above, including to Matt Rezac and me. Matt has indicated that he will post our responses on the Skidder so that they are stored in a place where all trip participants can access them.
Two questions of particular interest to me are the following:
What role does public policy play in maintaining the systems developed by Finland and Sweden to manage the public and private forests in each country? How are these policies similar and dissimilar to those of the neighboring country and to public policies in Canada (especially Ontario) and the United States (especially Minnesota)?
