The Department of Natural Resources is considering a plan to dramatically change the way the agency manages the state's forests. DNR commisoner Allen Garber hopes to replicate a Finish program that favors frequent, selective cutting, instead of blanket clear-cutting. He is organizing an April summit to consider how to implement the program. Garber visited Finland's forests in September and says he was very impressed by what he saw.
