NASF and the members of the Forests in the Farm Bill Coalition recently sent a letter to the leadership of the Senate Agriculture Committee, recommending priorities for the 2012 Farm Bill. According to the coalition, the bill should include a focus on four key areas that will better enable forest conservation on private forests: improving conservation programs for forests; strengthening forestry outreach, education, research, and inventory programs; combating forest‐related invasive species; and improving forest market opportunities.
