The Center's Programs
The Center’s programs are driven directly by its mission to advocate for the Northern Forest region and help its communities benefit from forest-based economic and conservation initiatives. The Center approaches this work three ways:
- Generating income from sustainable use of natural resources
- Building regional capacity for success
- Benefiting local communities
The program strategy is grounded in a commitment to advance the regional strategy and recommendations of the Sustainable Economy Initiative (SEI) through continued integrated regional approaches to Northern Forest issues. The Center delivers on its mission by collaborating with a wide range of public and private partners, and supporting a wide range of networks for the good of the region.
