Since it acquired these lands from industrial timber managers in the early 2000s, King County has been thoughtfully stewarding Taylor Mountain Forest to protect natural systems, wildlife
habitat, and promote carbon storage while preserving opportunities for public access, recreation, and environmental education.
During this four-hour tour you'll see a demonstration of climate adaptation techniques at work, along with other approaches King County is using to transition this former industrial
plantation to ecological forest management, focusing on managing hardwood forests and establishing conifers.
The tour includes several stands that recently had pre-commercial thinning, mixed conifer-hardwood stands that were thinned several years ago, and hardwood stands that are planned for
a commercial harvest. We'll discuss how King County's harvests are setting up the forest for long-term climate resilience, mitigating drought and heat-induced moisture stress by spreading
available soil moisture among fewer trees, enhancing their odds of survival. These same climate adaptation techniques can be applied to private non-industrial forestlands elsewhere.
