The Juniper Working Group is a collection of private landowners, resource managers, conservation groups and businesses that are concerned about the expansion of western juniper. Their mission is three fold:
Restore healthy watersheds.
Create family wage jobs.
Develop juniper products
This will be accomplished by mobilizing local forest products knowledge and skills and by partnering with researchers and community members who are concerned about juniper expansion and are willing to address the problem.
