Community Support for the AZFRP Project
Different entities express their positions differently. Some write
letters of commitment, some write letters of support, some pass
resolutions of support, some support the concept of the project, some support the
company in its endeavor to implement the project, some support the need
to take action to solve the problem of the Northern Arizona forests,
etc.
In
one form or another, Arizona Forest Restoration Products Inc.'s project
of developing an Oriented Strand Board (OSB) plant in Winslow, AZ to
fund the ecological restoration of the Northern Arizona forests is
officially supported by all 7 counties of the Mogollon Rim: Yavapai,
Coconino, Navajo, Apache, Gila, Graham, and Greenlee.
The
AZFRP
strategy is to process the low-value small-diameter trees removed
during restorative thinning into OSB, a high-value engineered wood
product, in order to generate the funding necessary to implement the
restoration of the forests of Northern Arizona to a fire-adapted
ecology at the needed landscape scale. The ultimate objective of
this strategy, and the vision of AZFRP, is to save the forest from
destruction by catastrophic wildfires, and to restore its ecosystems
to a self-sustainable fire-adapted ecology.
