The Forest Commons
By Al Fritsch. Appendices by Mary Davis, Paul Kalisz, Wendell Berry, Susan Duggan, Eric Freyfrogle. Excerpts by Eugene Hargrove. ASPI Publications. 1997

In the Spring of 1995, Appalachia - Science in the Public Interest sponsored a conference at Eastern Kentucky University entitled "The Forest Commons." Several distinguished experts addressed issues of forest conservation within the context of the forest commons concept. The presentations were very informative and drew upon a variety of academic and professional disciplines, ranging from history and law to science and forestry. While this paper is neither a verbatim record nor a strict summary of the proceedings, it draws heavily upon ideas presented in the conference in attempting to draft a vision for a greater forest commons. For those interested in more in-depth analysis of specific issues addressed at the conference, several presentations are included in the appendix to this paper.
