The Guild has members in every region of the United States as well as British Columbia, Canada.  Members are active in many of these regions, even areas where the Guild currently does not have funding to support staff.  Over time, the Guild hopes to build regional programs in the Southeast, Great Lakes, and Pacific Northwest, as funding allows. There are already region coordinators in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest.  

Meetings and field tours often happen at the regional level and are listed on our Calendar of Events. Since excellent forestry is different in each ecoregion, the Guild’s guides to ecological forestry—syntheses of science and place-based experience—are broken out by region and forest type. As demonstrations of excellent forestry, the Guild has Model Forests across the country.

Forest Wisdom Issue 15


Forest Wisdom #15 is focused on "ecosystem services", in other words the combined benefits people obtain from the natural world. These vital services include supporting functions such as nutrient cycling or soil formation; products such as fresh water and fuel; regulating services such as flood or climate regulation; and cultural resources such as recreational, educational, or aesthetic opportunities. Forest Wisdom 15 includes articles that address the value of forested watersheds, payments for forest carbon, shitake mushrooms as a non-timber forest product, and an assessment of the value of the ecosystem services provided by New Mexico's forests.
