Forestry in a Climate of Change:
Tribal Forestry


November 5-9 • Reno, Nevada

Nearly 19 million acres of Indian forestland are managed under the trust responsibility of the United States. Until the late 1970's, tribal involvement in establishing management goals and objectives was minimal. Under self-determination policies, tribes are establishing their own forestry programs and assuming greater responsibility for developing and implementing integrated resource management plans that meld modern science with traditional knowledge. Increasingly, tribal management approaches are being recognized as models for sustainable management of forest resources.
