Many of the certificate holders in attendance at the Asheville meeting voiced opposition to mitigation options that involved establishing these types of funds. Who would administer? Who will define the terms of the conservation easements? What level of contribution will be sufficient to "check the box" as a chosen mitigation option?

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.
