Greetings from the field!
We are in the midst of the 2017 third-party field visits
with PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC). In April, PwC field auditors, AFF staff and
state committee representatives visited Tree Farms in North Carolina and South
Carolina. Tree Farmers in Colorado were visited in May, and the Maryland committee
is hosting the assessment team this week. The field visits will conclude in
Maine and Montana at the end of this month.

Volunteer Highlight: Christine Walroth
At the 2017 NLC in
February, ATFS was proud to honor the inspectors, volunteers, Tree Farmers and
other partners who dedicate their time to the Tree Farm program. One such
inspector, Christine Walroth of Wisconsin, has dedicated decades of her time
across three states to the program and to advancing sustainable forestry. We
were honored to present her with the award for the North Central Outstanding
Inspector of the Year.
