Our Forest Ecosystems
 Forest ecosystems provide outstanding recreational opportunities such as hiking, backpacking, bicycling, hunting, and fishing. Even if you never visit a forest, its integrity affects you. Intact forest ecosystems provide carbon sequestration and countless other ecosystem services that are vital to the survival and quality of human life as well as the fish and wildlife with whom we share this wondrous planet. Forests are critical to both our physical well-being and our spiritual renewal.
The Lands Council educates the public about forest ecology and how to become involved in decision-making about our public forest lands.
The Lands Council advocates for forest ecosystems by using science, collaboration, and citizen participation to work towards ecologically sustainable management of our Inland Northwest National Forests.
