<div><font face="Lucida Grande">"With over half of U.S. forests
in private hands, the majority of our forest carbon sink will be
determined by corporate timberland managers, family forest owners, and
other private actors. A new report from the American Forest Foundation
reveals that even in the rural West, long perceived as a federally
controlled landscape, the most essential public water supply areas and
most fire prone forests have substantial private ownership. We can't
mobilize western forests for climate change without an unprecedented
public-private partnership." </font><br>

face="Geneva" size="-1" color="#121F35">Although it is encouraging to
know that Douglas-fir forests will acclimate to a warmer climate, in
some regions, this increased drought tolerance may come at the expense
of a relatively fast growth rate that is prized by land managers. 'We
found that populations could have good growth and reasonable drought
resistance, or reasonable growth and good drought resistance. You
can't have both maximum growth<i> and</i> maximum drought resistance,'
