Forests for the Bay
Recent studies of forest trends show undeniably that forest loss and fragmentation in the Bay region are occuring and have adverse ecological and economic consequences. The areas closest to the Bay and the exurban fringe across the regions metro areas are on a path of continued loss and fragmentation. Scientific data show that forests are critical for maintaining water quality, effective in preventing pollution, vital as habitat for living resources, and important to the regions economy and quality of life.
