In honor of Earth Day, Laurie Wayburn of Pacific Forest Trust highlights how a Broadway hit, Redwoods, is shining a spotlight on a too-often overlooked ecosystem: forest canopies. In her op-ed for Common Dreams, she explains why redwood forests are key to fighting climate change, keeping landscapes cool during droughts, and protecting biodiversity.
Since 1993, Pacific Forest Trust has created economic incentives that reward private forest owners for conserving their lands and practicing sustainable forestry. Pacific Forest Trust has helped shape state and national forest conservation and climate policies, all in an effort to create effective climate change solutions, save wildlife and their habitats, conserve intact forested landscapes, and protect natural water sources.
