MFPP Tool Kit
MFPP’s most notable achievement has been the completion and use of our publication: Model Concepts for Forest Practice Legislation – A “Tool Kit” for Progressive Forest Policy Change.

The “Tool Kit” as it has become known, combines our Advisory Committee’s collective knowledge to develop the structure for an environmentally protective state forest practice act, and to flesh the individual elements that such a law could include, what the goals and objectives of those elements should be, recommended statutory language for these provisions, and supplemental materials useful in state campaigns to enact such legislation. Bud Watson has used the Tool Kit provisions to evaluate gaps in coverage in Virginia law relating to forestry. His demonstration of this technique to attendees at the April 2004 Legislative Summit demonstrated what a powerful means the Tool Kit provides in all states.
