How does harvesting timber impact wildlife around the world?

In this episode of “Our Wild Lives,” Darren Miller, vice president of forestry programs for the National Council for Air and Stream Improvement (NCASI) and director of research programs for the NCASI Foundation, and Jessica Homyack, director of environmental research and operational support at Weyerhaeuser, explore how commercial timber forests can coexist with wildlife conservation.

As the forest industry undergoes organizational shifts and public expectations around sustainability grow, managed forest land has become increasingly important for global biodiversity.

“Our Wild Lives” is The Wildlife Society’s biweekly podcast, sharing stories from wildlife professionals doing critical work around the world. Your hosts, Katie Perkins and Ed Arnett, of The Wildlife Society, bring you thought-provoking conversations with leading experts and emerging voices.
