PUBLIC FORESTS
| Virginia Forest Watch supports a holistic program that restores
forests, rather than a system that degrades ecosystems on our
Public Lands. To read Virginia Forest Watch's full statement on
"restoration forestry" go to http://www.virginiaforestwatch.org/restorationforestry.html.
Virginia Forest Watch is committed to the maintenance and
restoration of the natural ecology and biodiversity of Virginia's
forests and therefore we believe that commercial
resource-extraction, including logging, mining, grazing, etc. is
not appropriate on National Forests. VAFW likewise remains
committed to engaging with the U.S. Forest Service in developing
management plans and implementing decisions which are responsive
to our position of forest and habitat protection.
