The FSC Family Forests Alliance has been created to provide a national mechanism for bringing together individuals and organizations committed to promoting responsible forest stewardship through FSC standards. By creating a forum for communication, cooperation, and information sharing, participants in the Alliance can pursue issues of common interest, learn from one another, and enlarge the community of landowners and small businesses practicing responsible forestry. Alliance Organizers:FSC Family Forests Alliance -- Wingspread 2007 - FSC Family Forests The four primary purposes of the FSC Family Forests Alliance are to:
