Joint letter to OR Global Warming Commission: Mature & Old Growth Trees

The Oregon Global Warming Commission, soon to be renamed the Oregon Climate Action Commission has received a report from the OSU based Institute for Natural Resources on how to get the most from natural climate solutions. While the report highlights the need to improve forest management it does not specify what that means. In particular MCAT calls on the Commission to especially emphasize the need to protect all of our mature and old growth trees as they hold the vast majority of COs across our forested landscape.
