EWP Briefing Papers
Permanent URI for this collection
Founded in 1994, the Ecosystem Workforce Program was created to help lead the rural Pacific Northwest into the age of ecosystem management--management for healthy communities and healthy environments. The EWP believes that, by creating high skill forest and watershed jobs that enable people to work near their homes, we will establish a structure for long term resource stewardship. Our goal is to demonstrate the linkages between a quality workforce, a healthy economy, healthy community, and effective management for forest ecosystems.

The state has developed numerous policies and programs to support biomass energy harvesting, transportation, production, and utilization. The federal government has also created policies to support biomass business development. Given the complex policy environment, it is not clear whether or how policies interact to influence business decisions. This research investigates what policies have been most important in fostering biomass business investments across the supply chain.
