What people are saying about MFPP
“ From all I have learned previously and now with your help, with my own special interests in the forests of the US, and for the great importance of forest preservation in this most bio-diverse of America’s ecosystems, I heartily endorse your goal. The policy you have devised is in my opinion the most effective way to gain public support…For all our sake, I wish you success and growing influence.”
– E.O. Wilson, Harvard University - Massachusetts

“The Model Forest Policy Program's efforts to coordinate advocacy work on forest issues throughout the country are critical and timely.  The summit you held last December in Nashville provided the first real forum for activists working on private forest lands issues to compare notes on what works and what doesn't work in different regions.  The summit has provided the seeds for a robust and lasting network of forest activists, and the MFPP can be the vehicle to keep this important network together.”
-Dan Whittle, Senior Attorney, Environmental Defense - North Carolina

“This is the only opportunity that forest activists in the Southeast have to get together and share experiences, ideas, strategies at a time when such communication is urgently needed.”
-David Orr, Save Our Cumberland Mountains - Tennessee

“What we need to do [is] to make this a political reality [on] how to use science as a tool [and] how to use economics more effectively as a tool. Thank you for your support and the amazing role you play in supporting the environmental movement.”
- Scot Quaranda, Dogwood Alliance – North Carolina

“[I was] glad to hear about successful grassroots efforts. We will engage MFPP as we develop our sustainable forest network. [This is the] most consistently high quality conference I have attended.”
-Andrew Grigsby, Appalachian Sustainable Development - Virginia

“Fantastic conference! Lots of great information and an exceptional slate of presenters. For those of us saturated by conferences this one stood out above the rest….”
