The Committee of Scientists' report signals a shift in land management planning, according to the Forest Trust, which seeks to protect the integrity of the forest ecosystem and improve the lives of people in rural communities. No longer will the Forest Service be the technical elite with sole responsibility for managing the forests, and the public the passive recipients of their benefits. The new planning process will enable citizens to become stewards of the land. In its sensitivity to the culture, concerns, and contributions of rural people, the report should win endorsement from resource-dependent communities.

Certifying the ecological, economic, and social aspects of nontimber forest product management is complex and requires prudent application. The social issues surrounding access and utilization of nontimber forest products, and the informal economic systems under which many of these goods are traded, may be poorly addressed by a market-based initiative such as certification. Nevertheless, certification may benefit certain products, and the process of developing and testing certification standards for best management practices of nontimber forest products will benefit researchers and managers, and perhaps also the communities that harvest these critical forest resources.

One growing season after the harvest of a 16-year-old hybrid poplar (Populus sp.) plantation, sprouts from 100 clumps were thinned to retain the dominant sprout; 100 clumps were left for comparison. After three growing seasons, thinned and unthinned clumps did not differ in total number of sprouts per clump or in diameter of dominant sprouts. Dominant sprouts were significantly taller in the unthinned clumps. Thinning hybrid poplar sprout clumps after a harvest is not recommended.

Private forests are breaking into smaller ownerships. The largest parcels remain intact for now, but the acreage in midsize woodlots is shrinking and the bottom class is growing. As the size of their ownerships decreases, owners are less likely to see the relevance of forestry. Without significant investments in public relations and marketing, forestry will become less and less relevant to more and more people, and we will lose vital forests that can produce both environmental and economic benefits. We need new approaches and technologies designed for small parcels.

A review of standards for forest regeneration in 11 regional certification schemes reveals some slight shifts from current local practices. Although forest management in much of the United States is already incorporating many of the practices the standards seek to promote certification under these schemes would likely result in more natural regeneration and maintenance of a greater diversity of species. Except in special cases, there would be less need for genetic engineering and more attention to local seed collection and seed zoning, and thus a need for better seed certification. Economic consequences for industrial forestry might include some forgone opportunities.

Thirty-four states implement compliance monitoring programs to determine whether voluntary or mandatory forest practices are being applied by landowners and timber harvesters. In only 20 states does the lead forestry agency have sole responsibility for monitoring. Since the early 1990s, some states have completed five or more monitoring survey cycles, the most recent costing an average of $60,000. Effectiveness of compliance monitoring is enhanced by positive landowners' and harvesters' attitudes, assignment of monitoring responsibility to a single agency, credible monitoring processes, and sufficient resources.

The forest industries of the Republic of South Africa depend heavily on introduced tree species such as the American southern pines, slash and loblolly (Pinus elliottii var. elliottii P. taeda.) Because only a very small area is available for high-quality plantations, South Africa has developed an intensive management system which aims for short rotations and high product quality, particularly for sawlogs and peeler logs.
