Green Tree Press presents a landmark book whose message is bound to influence important decisions in the forest industry for years to come.
Reinventing The Forest Industry Jean Mater Reinventing the Forest Industry presents a workable plan for the forest industry to gain a stronger voice in public policy discussion. From the origins of the environmental philosophy through the development of the present environmental "culture", it illustrates the influence of public perception on management of America's forests. The author uses the experience of other industries in changing their public image as the springboard for evaluating and enhancing the forest industry's relations with the public. Reports from the media, the environmental community, and the forest industry support the author's conclusions. Reinventing the Forest Industry provides decision makers with persuasive arguments for sensible change.  REINVENTING THE FOREST INDUSTRY.
