Free forestry workshop in Chimacum this month!
Learn practical techniques for stewarding a productive and wildlife-rich family forest in a changing climate.
Join NNRG and Washington DNR foresters in Jefferson Land Trust’s Valley View Forest as they share a set of simple, hands-on strategies for increasing a forest's resilience in the face
of a warmer and drier climate.
Participants will develop a deeper understanding of the ecological risks facing Jefferson County forests due to wildfire, drought, disease, and insect infestation. We will discuss how
to evaluate the current health of a forest based on desired future conditions, when thinning a forest might be appropriate, and how to select trees for pre-commercial or commercial
thinning.
April 29, 2023 | 10am - 4pm
Valley View Forest, Chimacum, Washington

This workshop will cover the following topics:
* Expected climate impacts & risks: Temperature and precipitation changes we can expect and likely impacts on Jefferson County forests, including fire risk, pests & disease, and species
vulnerabilities.
* Stand assessment 101: How to "read" and understand what is happening in your forest from an ecological perspective, and how to evaluate how climate-adapted your forest is. Topics include
species competition, tree canopy classes, and timber quality.
* Choosing climate-adapted species: Which native species are well-suited for the anticipated future climate of this region. Sourcing native tree species from other regions. Drought and
heat-tolerant understory and mid-canopy species.
* Forest management goals & options: Strategies for reducing fire risk, improving timber growth and quality, emulating natural fire disturbance in your forest, and increasing resilience
to climate change.
* Tree selection for thinning: The rhyme and reason for thinning from below, thinning across diameters, tree spacing, and species selection.
* Utilizing cut material: Strategies include lop & scatter, habitat piles, creating biochar, making constructed habitat logs, firewood, chipping, etc.
* Funding forest stewardship: How to fund your forest health work through cost-share programs.
