Are you concerned about the future of our forests and the bird and wildlife habitat they provide? Do you wonder what is being done to protect this great resource, or how you could get involved in forest conservation? The NAS Forest Campaign will hold a Forest Activist Summit during the NAS National Convention this summer in Estes Park, Colorado, to address these questions and many more. Anyone registered for the Convention will be able to attend any or all of these Forest Campaign Summit sessions.

For two days, July 9-10, the Summit will highlight the issues and threats currently facing our forests, and Audubon's responses. Activists and staff from around the nation will present their good works on behalf of forest habitat. Workshops -- presentations, panel discussions, and strategy sessions -- will address a number of related issues, including but not limited to:

• The Audubon Forest Campaign;
• Regional and state updates;
• Grassroots organizing and activism;
• Forest management issues: community forest management, state and private forestry, and commercial logging of public lands;
• Cross-over issues: Endangered Species Act, Habitat Conservation, Clean Water, etc.

The Forest Campaign wants your input and participation in developing Audubon's long-range goals and strategies. Anyone currently involved or interested in forest habitat conservation, join the Summit and help plan the future of our forests!
