While climate-smart forestry is a hot topic in forestry today, there are many questions about what practicing climate-smart silviculture looks like. In this webinar series, participants will hear from some of the leading silviculturists, ecologists, and foresters – including two Guild members –  about how we can adapt silviculture, manage for old-growth a with novel threats, and balance carbon, forest health, wildlife habitat, and other important goals. Each topic will be covered in-depth by one of the experts in a presentation, and the series will be capped off with a panel where the presenters take questions from participants.
