Forester and author Ethan Tapper explains why loving a forest means more than planting trees or criticizing the lumber industry. He argues that caring for forests and using them as a resource don’t have to be at odds. Great Lakes Now’s Lisa John Rogers spoke with Tapper about how forests can thrive when we rethink old ideas about forest management.
