Wednesday, April 14th, 7:00 PM - via ZoomPutting the Forest Back into Forestry
At van Eck Forest in McKinleyville, the Pacific Forest Trust has pioneered ways to pay for vital forest outputs like water, habitat, and climate while also reducing regulatory burdens. Laurie Wayburn, the dynamic executive director of the Trust, will show what this new kind of managed forest looks like, compared to "standard" practice of managing forests solely for timber and fibert, and explain the central role of managed forests in combating climate change.
