Currently, few laws or public policies protect our ancient forests. These rare, often fragile, ecological remnants suffer human disturbance at any time for any reason. And no forest is immune to insects, fungi, disease, or stress from climate change. Until local, state and federal laws and policies protect these precious and vanishing natural areas, only public awareness and action can preserve these sylvan sanctuaries.
