Dear Potential Sponsor,

Most Oregonians place a high value on their forests, but many may not be aware of how quickly changes in forest landowner incentives, timber markets, demographics, and climate change are affecting Oregon forests, or of how these changes may impact Oregon’s unique quality of life. Modeled after the successful 2005 California Forest Futures conference, the purpose of the 2007 At the Crossroads conference is to promote greater awareness of the multiple benefits that Oregon’s forests produce—wildland recreation, timber and non-timber products, jobs, wildlife habitat, and ecosystem services such as clean water and air--and to find common ground for maintaining these forest benefits in the face of unprecedented threats.

The 2007 At the Crossroads conference is an unparalleled opportunity to not only engage thoughtful people in constructive dialogue about the role different forestland management emphases and ownership demographics play in the state’s economy, environment, and community vitality, but also an opportunity to assess implications of existing policies regarding these roles and the potential need for policy changes. A number of recent conferences and workshops have addressed various facets related to the future of Oregon’s forests. The 2007 At the Crossroads conference will attempt to not only build on and integrate these themes, but bring new and traditional constituents into discussions of how to ensure that Oregon’s forestlands remain intact and healthy so that they can continue to provide the benefits that Oregonians expect and value for decades to come.

The purpose of this letter is to request that you become a sponsor and supporter of this very important event. The 2007 At the Crossroads conference needs your help to make it a success. All sponsors will be publicly recognized for their contributions at the conference.

We sincerely hope that you will consider becoming a sponsor!
