Forest stewardship in the age of megafires with Dave Tenny

The future of forests, and the communities and wildlife that depend on them, is at a crossroads. In this episode of On Land, Western Landowners Alliance CEO Lesli Allison sits down with Dave Tenny, founding president and CEO of the National Alliance of Forest Owners, for a timely, wide-ranging conversation.  They dig into sweeping new federal directives aimed at expanding domestic timber production, what it really takes to reduce wildfire risk, and how private working forests are becoming critical players in wildlife conservation and the carbon economy.  Along the way, they peel back the curtain on the modern timber industry: how it's changed, the stewardship ethic driving today's forestry leaders, and why sustainable forest management may hold keys to healthier lands, watersheds, and communities across the West.  If you care about the future of forests, rural economies, or conservation, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.  Find the show notes here.
