Pack Essay Competition The College is pleased to announce two winners for this year's Charles L. Pack Essay Competition. The contest is offered as an opportunity for CFR students to express their views on forestry and to demonstrate their writing skills. The competition was originally created nearly 80 years ago through a gift by Charles Pack. This year, CFR students were asked to address the role and definition of sustainable forestry in a rapidly urbanizing and globalizing world, as well as the question of what role a research forest (such as UW Pack Forest) can play in the development of sustainable forestry. The contest was open to both undergraduate and graduate students. This year's prize has been awarded to two students. Carrie Spradlin, graduate student at CFR, has been awarded the prize for her essay " Sustainable Forestry: A Process" and Royce Anderson, undergraduate student in the ESRM program, has been awarded for his essay "Experimenting with Sustainability". The papers are available to download and read by clicking on the titles. (6/06)
Discussion Papers The Center is pleased to announce the Discussion Papers series. This series is intended to spark discussion and dialogue on issues relevant to the ongoing development of sustainable forestry. Please contact us if you have any comments or ideas for future discussion papers. Discussion Paper: Research Forests and Managerial Perceptions of Certification This paper examines the perceptions among research forest managers of certification and the costs and benefits of certification for their forests. In developing a better understanding of the attitudes of those responsible for research forests toward certification, we also hope to initiate a dialogue to improve the relationships between certification systems and managers of research and university forests.
