The Denman Forestry Issues Series provides information and discussion on timely forestry and natural resources issues to inform and educate students, faculty, staff and the public. This program is the 7th in a series begun in 2000 with support from the Denman Endowment for Student Excellence in Forest Resources, and will air on UWTV in December 2003. The College extends special thanks to Mary Ellen and W. Richard Denman and to the participating speakers for making this program possible.
