Collaborative Forest Management in the Crown of the Continent
The forests of the Crown of the Continent are vital to health and quality of life of communities in the Crown and beyond. These forests form part of the headwaters of clean, flowing rivers that supply our drinking water, are essential for natural adaption to climate change, and support a diverse community of plants and animals while providing a multitude of recreational opportunities.
