Keep FOCUS and Steve Wilent as editor
Sign Now
We the undersigned wish to congratulate Steve Wilent for doing an excellent job on the FOCUS section of the Journal of Forestry (JOF). This insert to the JOF has provided foresters with readable, "down to earth" notes and articles. Some of these articles have been thought provoking and have been the source of engaging conversations. However, it has come to our attention that the JOF staff in Washington has decided to end the publication of the FOCUS section. We feel this is a mistake and that SAF would do well to retain this means of communication. We therefore request that SAF continue to support the FOCUS section and to keep Steve Wilent as its editor. One reason we feel the FOCUS section has been popular is the editor is outside of the Washington beltway and is closer to some of us in the field. Please show your support for Steve Wilent's fine work and keep FOCUS as a JOF publication. In addition to signing this petition, send your comments about Focus to Bill Banzhaf (banzhafb@safnet.org) Editor-in-Chief Rebecca Staebler (staebler@safnet.org).

Please keep the FOCUS and our options open. The idea of tossing out vibrant information sources is worrisome, to me.

FOCUS contains practical information not found in the rest of the Journal of Forestry. Limit Editor Wilent to 4 pages, but do not throw out the section.

While I understand the need for cost savings. I must agree that the FOCUS section in the JOF has become an important and usefull tool to the members, and would be underused on the website.

Please, keep the FOCUS section of the JOF! As a field forester I find it the most useful and interesting part of the journal, and it's the section I read first.

Of the changes that I hear rumors of, this is the least desirable change. Please retain Steve Wilent and the FOCUS.

This is one of the best aspects of the Journal! If you want to do away with anything, do away with the extra paper/newsletter we get!!

Please keep the FOCUS section of the JoF. It is a valuable source of information for field foresters and others looking for hands-on, practical information.

One of the more useful sections of the Journal for foresters who are still fortunate enough to work in the woods.

Please keep the FOCUS section! It has some of the most practical and useful information in the Journal, and it's one of the first places I flip to when the new issue arrives.

Focus is a very helpful tool for the average forester - and should not be dropped. If the situation is that drastic, drop the Journal and incorporate the Focus material into the Forestry Source, and cover the research/science Journal artcles in the region

I greatly enjoy and use the FOCUS section - It's a quick read and a way to catch up on new results quickly. Please keep it - it's the part of the JOF that I read first - then I set the rest of the issue aside for later reading.

There is a need for a diversity of opinion. It needs to include forestry and environment related ideas, concepts, opinions from both professionals inside and outside the broad field of forestry/park/wildlife and environmenal management. There will alway
