December 12, 2007 ?The release today of the Forest Guild?s new report, Climate Change, Carbon, and the Forests of the Northeast, marks the first time that climate change impacts, carbon policy recommendations, and forest management challenges in the Northeast have been interconnected and distilled into practical, attainable strategies for use by forest managers. Commenting on the need for and the focus of this report, Forest Guild Research Director and co-author Dr. Zander Evans explained, ?We need to recognize how climate change may affect the resistance, resilience, and adaptation of the Northeast?s forests. We also must decide how to manage working forests in response, and how they can store more carbon and play an important role in mitigating climate change?
