The authors wish to thank the National Commission on Science for Sustainable Forest for their financial support of this project. The commission receives funding from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, the Surdna Foundation, the Packard Foundation, and the National Forest Foundation. Its program is conducted under the auspices of the National Council for Science and the Environment, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the scientific basis for environmental decision-making. We also wish to thank the University of California Berkeley Cooperative Extension for their financial and logistical support of the California workshop. We are grateful to several individuals who provided early endorsement of the project and guidance throughout its implementation: Colin Donohue of Rural Action, Ajit Krisnaswamy of the National Network of Forest Practitioners, and Christina Getz of the University of California Berkeley Cooperative Extension. We thank the many people who provided us feedback during workshops in New Mexico, Virginia, Colorado, and California. We also thank the many technical advisors, too numerous to name, who supplied critical reviews and greatly improving the quality of our research.
