RT @SenatorBennet: Thrilled to introduce Dr. Tony Cheng during this morning's @SenateAgDems hearing on Forestry and Climate Change. I'm gra… — PolitiTweet.org
Senate Ag, Nutrition, & Forestry Committee Dems @SenateAgDems
Dr. Cheng: “Reforestation is essential not only to sequestering carbon, but providing clean water, recreation opportunities, wildlife habitat, and wood fiber, among many other values, into the future.” — PolitiTweet.org
Senate Ag, Nutrition, & Forestry Committee Dems @SenateAgDems
Dr. Cheng: “Many western forests are experiencing what scientists call “compounding disturbances”, where insect outbreaks, wildfires, and severe droughts are impacting an entire region’s forests at the same time or in relatively short succession.” — PolitiTweet.org
Senate Ag, Nutrition, & Forestry Committee Dems @SenateAgDems
Colorado Forest Restoration Institute’s Dr. Tony Cheng: “Climate change is delivering a double blow to western US forests.” — PolitiTweet.org
Senate Ag, Nutrition, & Forestry Committee Dems @SenateAgDems
Harris: “Advancing the role of forests and wood products as climate change solutions can both build and strengthen the forest products supply chain and the people it employs as strong, engaged participants in natural climate solutions. — PolitiTweet.org
Senate Ag, Nutrition, & Forestry Committee Dems @SenateAgDems
Harris: “For the private sector, market-based decarbonization through private working forests and forest products is an important tool for reducing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere while improving livelihoods, especially in rural communities.” — PolitiTweet.org
Senate Ag, Nutrition, & Forestry Committee Dems @SenateAgDems
Harris: “The forest sector is already carbon negative, offsetting not only its own emissions, but a significant portion of the country’s annual emissions as well. The data clearly show that forests can be both productive and beneficial to the climate." — PolitiTweet.org
Senate Ag, Nutrition, & Forestry Committee Dems @SenateAgDems
Harris: “Privately-owned working forests account for 73 percent of gross forest carbon sequestration, enough to offset emissions from all passenger vehicles in the U.S. each year. They also store an additional 82 gigatons of carbon, more than all other forests combined.” — PolitiTweet.org
Senate Ag, Nutrition, & Forestry Committee Dems @SenateAgDems
Our next witness is Jamestown LP’s Troy Harris: “Added up, wood products store about 9.7 gigatons of carbon in houses and other wood buildings in the U.S. That is more than double the carbon stored in all national parks.” — PolitiTweet.org
Senate Ag, Nutrition, & Forestry Committee Dems @SenateAgDems
Dillard: “When family landowners are left out of these opportunities, it means rural and climate-impacted communities are left out of these important opportunities to take local climate action, to support forests and forest health, and local economies.” — PolitiTweet.org
Senate Ag, Nutrition, & Forestry Committee Dems @SenateAgDems
Dillard: “With some estimating carbon markets could be worth between $90-480 billion by mid-century, these markets represent an important revenue stream for family forest owners.” — PolitiTweet.org
Senate Ag, Nutrition, & Forestry Committee Dems @SenateAgDems
Dillard: “Carbon markets, where we can earn income for additional carbon that we sequester and store our land, have great potential to help supplement other income streams to help keep our forests healthy and as forest.” — PolitiTweet.org
Senate Ag, Nutrition, & Forestry Committee Dems @SenateAgDems
Dillard: “Forests, including African American-owned forests, are essential for tackling climate change. America’s forests and forest products already capture and store nearly 15% of annual U.S. carbon dioxide emissions generated from the burning of fossil fuels.” — PolitiTweet.org
Senate Ag, Nutrition, & Forestry Committee Dems @SenateAgDems
Up first: Sustainable Forestry and African American Land Retention Network’s Kedren Dillard: “African American forest ownerships are often on the frontlines in climate-impacted communities, where the impacts of climate change are felt the most.” — PolitiTweet.org

Senate Ag, Nutrition, & Forestry Committee Dems @SenateAgDems
Stabenow: I look forward to hearing from all our witnesses today. — PolitiTweet.org
Senate Ag, Nutrition, & Forestry Committee Dems @SenateAgDems
Stabenow: Secondly, as we think about reaping additional climate benefits from managed timberland, we also need to redouble our efforts to protect the few remaining stands of old-growth forests. — PolitiTweet.org
Senate Ag, Nutrition, & Forestry Committee Dems @SenateAgDems
Stabenow: First, we need to ensure that climate smart forestry policies and practices complement and strengthen our traditional forest products markets. In fact, I think there’s great promise in storing carbon in long-lived wood products like mass timber. — PolitiTweet.org
Senate Ag, Nutrition, & Forestry Committee Dems @SenateAgDems
Stabenow: Small-acreage and minority landowners have too often been left out of the kind of opportunities we’re talking about today. Their stories are unique, and their needs may be very different than those of larger or more-resourced operations. — PolitiTweet.org
Senate Ag, Nutrition, & Forestry Committee Dems @SenateAgDems
Stabenow: Climate-smart forestry policies offer both tools to reduce carbon pollution and an important opportunity to develop new revenue streams for family foresters. This helps provide financial stability in uncertain times. — PolitiTweet.org
Senate Ag, Nutrition, & Forestry Committee Dems @SenateAgDems
Stabenow: America’s forests currently pull as much carbon dioxide out of the air every year as eliminating 54 million cars from the road according to the National Academy of Science. — PolitiTweet.org
