There are now local, regional, national, and global opportunities for individuals in a wide variety of land development professions to participate in long-range environmental sustainability for our society. A common element of all of these efforts is the importance of a healthy community forest. In the United States it is estimated that 90 percent of the entire population now lives within the boundaries of what is defined as community forest. Additionally, the total yearly economic value of community forest services is more than $400 billion.Triple Pundit
