America's 400 million acres of working forests provide immeasurable
benefits to our society - ecosystem services, fresh air, clean
water, habitat, open space, and sustainable forest products.
Working forests protected by conservation easements are
privately-owned forests that offer great public benefit. Since its
inception in 1985, The Conservation Fund has protected 7.8 million
acres of habitat in all 50 states. Brian Dangler is VP and Director
of TCF's Working Forest Fund, and he joins us this week to talk
about conservation easements & how they benefit forests, habitat,
communities, and outdoor recreation. We talk about TCF's recent
monumental conservation deal in PA - the 32,000 acre Clarion
Junction Forest, their Rensselaer Plateau Forest in NY and
conserving elk habitat in Logan County WV.
