Some speakers detailed commitments of their companies to address environmental concerns relating to their products and supply chains. Others spoke to supply, demand, and growth issues pertaining to “green” products. FSC standards and changing markets were also addressed.

Columbia Forest Products wrote the management plan for this property and the timberland is managed by Columbia under FSC guidelines.
