NATIONAL NEWS
The jobs are in the trees
(Washington, DC)- With Congress and the White House considering
spending scarce dollars to jump-start employment, they'll need to get
the biggest jobs bang for the buck to give Americans confidence that
they're spending our money wisely. Probably the biggest jobs generator
of all, and one of the least recognized, is investing in forest and
land restoration and sustainable management, with conservation,
watershed projects, and park investment coming close behind.
