Timber, Fish and Wildlife (TFW)
In July 1986, the Northwest Renewable Resources Center convened a conference in Port Ludlow to consider alternative dispute resolution for forest practices. Representatives of the timber industry, tribes, environmentalists, and governmental agencies gathered to work out a new process. Progress was so positive that on August 22, 1986, the group asked the Forest Practices Board to delay its new rules until the stake holders could work out their own plan.
