orests’ rise on the national climate
agenda was evident at the Pacic
Forest Trust’s recent Capitol Hillreception for 2008
Outside-the- Box Award 
winner Senator DebbieStabenow (D-MI). Stabenow leads an
inuential group of senators whose
votes will be crucial to advancingfederal climate legislation.The March 5 event, co-hosted by SenatorBarbara Boxer (D-CA), RepresentativeMike Thompson (D-CA) and USDA
Ofce of Ecosystem Services Director
Sally Collins, was one of the largestever assembled in Washington, D.C.,on the topic of U.S. forests and nationalclimate policy. PFT honored Stabenowfor her leadership in Congress raising
awareness of the climate benets of 
forests and other working lands.“I am committed to continuing to work
with the Pacic Forest Trust to make
sure that there are strong incentivesfor sustainable forest managementpractices, to think outside the box toprotect and preserve our forests and touse this opportunity to tackle what is thereal challenge of our generation: globalwarming,” Stabenow remarked.
In 2008, Stabenow held the rst-ever
Senate hearing on the subject at whichPFT President Laurie Wayburn addressedlawmakers. As a representative of aforest-rich state and chair of the SenateSub-Committee on Rural Revitalization,Conservation, Forestry and Credit,Stabenow is expected to be a leadingvoice this year calling for cap and tradelegislation that balances environmentalconcerns with the economic needs of working families.“Senator Stabenow’s outside-the-boxthinking on this issue will serve thecountry well in the climate discussionsalready underway,” said Wayburn.“She understands that conserving andstewarding forests for their climate
benets also safeguards these lands
for the families and communities whodepend on them for jobs and many other
public benets.”
PFT Board members Will Stelle,Andrea Tuttle and Kirk Marckwald joined Wayburn at the reception,which was sponsored by K&L Gates,
Lyme Timber Company, Pacic Gas
& Electric Company, the National Fishand Wildlife Foundation and the LandTrust Alliance.
