SUMMARY:Communicating with Landowners About Oak Forest Resiliency
DESCRIPTION:View the recorded webinar \nWednesday\, Apr 22\, 2020 at 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time \nPresenter:\nDr. Purnima Chawla\nDirector\, Center for Nonprofit Strategies\nTargeted Marketing Consultant\, Sustaining Family Forests Initiative \nThe Forest Stewards Guild is working with partners to increase oak forest resiliency in southern New England and elsewhere. To be successful\, foresters and allied professionals need to be able to communicate with landowners in a way that speaks to their motivations and helps them take specific actions. As we practice social distancing\, this webinar will provide an opportunity to brush up on our skills before we return to the field and in-person meetings. We will discuss targeted messaging and ways to communicate with different types of landowners about the values their woods provide and the potential benefits of active management. \nThis event was part of a larger project funded by the USDA Forest Service on Increasing Resiliency in Southern New England’s Oak Forests. \nNational SAF CEUs pending. This event has been approved for 1 CEU for Connecticut and Massachusetts Licensed Foresters.

SUMMARY:Unlocking Carbon Markets for Family Forest Owners in the Pacific Northwest - webinar
DESCRIPTION:Register today! \nApr 28\, 2020 2pm EDT / 11am PDT \nCarbon markets can provide new income streams to forest owners and may help keep forest as forest. The Pinchot Institute for Conservation and partners ran a NRCS Regional Conservation Partnership Program aimed at helping forest owners in the Pacific Northwest learn more about forest carbon sequestration and carbon market opportunities. The program also piloted the use of traditional Farm Bill funding to help develop carbon projects on small family forests. \nJosh Fain will discuss lessons learned from the program during this hour long webinar. Through the program\, landowners had the opportunity to receive financial and technical assistance designed to help overcome transaction costs and related barriers that have prevented family forest owners from participating in carbon markets. This assistance was incorporated into stewardship planning and the adoption of conservation practices designed to improve forest health\, generate income\, and maintain their family’s forestland legacy.
