Therefore, it is necessary to periodically review: the state of art with respect to forest management practices; the theoretical and empirical bases for sustainable forest management systems; the evidence on the ground that the standards of SFM (sustainable forest management) are being achieved in the long-run; and, the adequacy of forest policies and other governance mechanisms such as certification of sustainable forest management to achieve SFM on the ground.<\/p>\n Cross-section of professionals and the public involved with and concerned about the sustainable management of Maine\u2019s forests , including state and federal foresters, forest industry, academia, NGOs, and forestry certification system staff.<\/p>\n Day 1: Full-day indoor technical workshop (4.5 Category 1 CFE credits) Thursday, June 7th: Indoor technical workshop<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Friday June 8th: Field Tour, 8 a.m – 3 p.m.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\nREGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED<\/b><\/h3>\n
