Free Workshop | Thinning Your Forest For Climate Resilience – Lopez Island | Friday, Sept. 6, 2024
Stewarding a beautiful, healthy forest doesn’t have to mean locking the gate and throwing out the key. In fact, careful stewardship can help you to perpetually manage your forest in a way that improves wildlife habitat, sustains forest health, reduces risks associated with climate change, and provides long-term income opportunities through high-quality timber products.
At this free workshop in a family forest on Lopez Island, professional foresters will introduce forest owners to a set of simple, hands-on strategies for increasing their forests’ resilience in the face of a warmer and drier climate.
I recently took advantage of the Dept of Natural Resources program to help landowners “fire wise” their property. A local tree service did the work and DNR paid 1/3 the cost. DNR’s Bud Wescott was super to work with. Call him at 360.708.6385.
