EVERETT — The Pacific Northwest Forest Climate Alliance is hosting a webinar about federal forest management and threats to national forests from 5-6:30 p.m. Wednesday with the Rainforest Action Network.

The alliance, made up of organizations and activists throughout the Pacific Northwest, such as 350 Washington, Lane County Mutual Aid and Mount Shasta Bioregional Ecology Center, will cover a history of the country’s forest management practices, including how the National Forest Management Act came to be and the turbulent timber wars of the 1990s.

“We’ll be looking at case studies of campaigns that successfully utilized a diversity of tactics to protect threatened forests, unpacking the moment we’re in now as a movement and the threats we’re facing, and talking about where we can go from here and how folks can take action,” Alex Budd, an organizer for the alliance said in an email.

The webinar will discuss how President Donald Trump’s proposed policy changes — like the Roadless Rule rollback and timber-focused executive orders — could affect national forests.
