I think it was pretty clear in Asheville that Certificate Holders (CHs) don't have a lot of support for providing money to a specific group or fund. Large CHs expressed concern that this could open them up to requests for funding from other funds or groups and small CHs do not have the fiancial resources to do this.
Participate in the discussion forum to share ideas and provide feedback about practical actions that companies can take to promote positive impacts on forest management, and reduce the risk of procuring wood from forests where important ecological values are threatened.
The forum is organized by each Regional Meeting with each Specified Risk Topic listed under each meeting:
Asheville (Appalachian Region)
Atlanta (Southeast/Mississippi Alluvial Valley Regions)
