Gifford Pinchot Task Force: The Gifford Pinchot Task Force was established in 1985. The task force founded the Pinchot Partners, a coalition with timber workers and timber communities, which obtained a grant and hired contractors to conduct forest stand exams on 33,000 acres of national forestland. A Sunday Page A1 story misstated the date the group was formed and who performed the stand exams.
