Come spend Wednesday afternoon with us on a tour through Taylor Mountain forest!
We still have a few spots left for this Wednesday’s guided tour with NNRG Director of Forestry Kirk Hanson and King County staff through Taylor Mountain Forest.
This tour will showcase climate adaptation techniques at work, along with other approaches King County is using to transition this former industrial plantation to ecological forest management.
Since it acquired these lands from industrial timber managers in the late 1990s, 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. Through active stewardship—including thinning and harvest
work—King County is improving forest health and long-term resilience in the face of a changing climate.

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.
Topics to be discussed will include:
* The climate adaptation rationale behind pre-commercial (small-diameter) thinning
* Harvest prescription and tree selection criteria
* Climate adaptation strategies (tree selection, residual density)
* Options for utilizing cut material and harvest slash
* Logging costs & economics in hardwood-dominated forests
* Working with a contractor
Space is limited - register soon! <https://nnrg.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f7fac24f39af609be946c1056&id=77de284bdc&e=b279c8a19f>

This tour is supported by grant award made by the Wildlife Conservation Society through its Climate Adaptation Fund. The support to establish the Climate Adaptation Fund was provided
by a grant to the Wildlife Conservation Society from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation.
