SUMMARY:Climate Change and Adirondack Forests
DESCRIPTION:Register by September 1 ($25) \nFull agenda \nPreparing for Climate Change\nForest and natural resource managers face the tremendous challenge of developing and implementing management actions that help ecosystems respond to climate change. This session will: \n\nProvide information on the current and anticipated effects of climate change on the Adirondack region and its forests\nDescribe resources and tools that can be used to integrate climate change into management\nOutline adaptation concepts and strategies in the context of sustainable forest management\nIdentify actions that enhance the ability of forests and other ecosystems to adapt to changing conditions\nHighlight real-world examples of adaptation projects and engage in a variety of interactive activities to identify climate change issues and potential adaptation actions.\n\nAdaptation in the Woods\nThis session will include an active\, hands-on training held outdoors in the afternoon. Attendees will use the adaptation workbook to discuss actions for responding to climate change for a nearby forest. \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Forestry for Resiliency and Perpetuity in Chimacum - Guild Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Register today (spaces are limited)! \nJoin us for a 1/2-day tour of two Chimacum Ridge properties\, and an optional social gathering afterwards until 7 p.m. Some of the questions we’ll be considering during our tour: \n\nForesters manage and plan with a long-term perspective. But how can “forestry that is ecologically\, economically\, and socially responsible\,” as in the Guild’s vision\, be assured in perpetuity\, in conditions that we cannot foresee now\, even if or when\, the property changes hands?\nIn managing a forest\, how do we balance values and priorities that sometimes conflict as we work to maximize the ‘triple bottom line’?\nWhat are some tools that can help make that balance financially viable?\n\nWe will tour two adjacent properties in the rain shadow of the Olympics: an 853-acre working forest protected in perpetuity by two conservation easements\, and a 65-acre forest recently acquired by Jefferson Land Trust as a community forest. View some management approaches and challenges on the ground\, and share with us other management possibilities that you see or have experience with too. \nThese two second-growth properties are undergoing management transition: one from planting and industrial clearcutting\, and the other from natural regeneration with very little active management. In addition to Land Trust folks\, we will be joined by local foresters and an economic development consultant\, finishing up with an opportunity to socialize and experience tangential benefits of collaborative land protection: tasty local food and drink at Finnriver cidery from 5–7 p.m. \nJefferson Land Trust’s mission is “Helping the community preserve open space\, working lands and habitat forever” and we’re celebrating our 30th anniversary. We’d like to share what we have learned in those years of protecting land in perpetuity\, and we want to hear about your experiences as we continue to learn from each other– we’re all in this together! \nDid you know that we have a local Quimper dragon?  Come learn more… \nDraft agenda

Lunch is included).\n\nThe symposium will feature presentations and posters on the geology\, fire history\, and ongoing research in the jack pine forest ecosystem at Flat Rock. The evening panel will provide community members an opportunity to learn about the 2018 wildfire operations and the relationship between fire and the human communities nearby. The field trip will offer participants a boots-on-the-ground look at wildfire management and field research. \nFor more information\, please visit the North Atlantic Fire Science Exchange website. \nThere is no cost to attend any of these events\, but we ask that you please pre-register for the field trip so that we can have an accurate count for lunches.
