SUMMARY:Communicating Forestry Series: ways that work
DESCRIPTION:Register \nJuly 11\, 2023\n7:00 – 8:30 p.m. Eastern Time \nOnline webinar. Zoom link will be sent after registration. \n1.5 Category 1 SAF CFE credits approved. \nThis webinar is the first in a Communicating Forestry series by Guild members. Part of putting innovation into practice is knowing what’s important to share about our vision\, and then how and when to do so. As forest managers and stewards\, we manage forests for a variety of different objectives\, values and purposes\, but the importance of our work is not always clear to everyone. Forestry is nuanced\, complex and counter-intuitive to many. Our ability to clearly and effectively communicate the work that we do is integral to our ability to continue to do what is necessary to take care of our forests. \nJoin Guild member Ethan Tapper\, the Chittenden County Forester for the Vermont Dept. of Forests\, Parks and Recreation. Ethan will discuss how we can present forest management in ways that are engaging and exciting\, including modifying our language\, mobilizing partnerships\, and approaching outreach in novel ways. \nThis event will focus on some practices and methods that have worked for Ethan in the Northeast region and will be part of an event series focusing on various aspects of forestry communication in different regions\, by more Guild members. \nAbout Ethan:  \nEthan Tapper advises private landowners\, municipalities\, conservation organizations\, foresters and loggers on the responsible stewardship of forestland\, administers “Current Use” program in Chittenden County\, and manages over 4\,500 acres of Community Forests. He writes a monthly column for 11 newspapers and a quarterly column in Northern Woodlands magazine\, maintains a YouTube channel with over 650 subscribers over 100 videos and an email list with over 700 subscribers and leads virtual and in-person public events in Vermont and throughout New England which are attended by thousands of people each year. Ethan is the Northeast-Midwest State Foresters Alliance’s 2021 CFM Forester of the Year\, the 2021 recipient of the Vermont American Tree Farm System’s Education and Outreach Award\, 2020 recipient of Vermont Coverts’ James B. Engle Award\, and the 2022 recipient of the Vermont Urban and Community Forestry Program’s Vermont Tree Steward Award. \nExplore a Story Map about Ethan’s approach to outreach and communication at a forest management project in Hinesburg\, Vermont here: https://arcg.is/09zfC1 \nTo learn more about Ethan’s work\, visit his YouTube channel\, read an archive of his articles or sign up for his mailing list\, visit his LinkTree\, here: https://linktr.ee/ChittendenCountyForester

FSC is hosting a free workshop to share resources to help family and community forest managers achieve greater value from FSC certification. \nWith a focus on existing tools and needs for additional support\, the workshop will offer practical ways to improve the opportunities FSC offers to community and family woodlands. Whether you’re a group manager\, consulting forester\, forest owner or forest manager\, FSC encourages you to participate in this free in-person workshop. \nThe event will also offer a good opportunity to connect with peers about shared challenges facing small\, low-intensity managed forests. \nForests meeting one or more of the following criteria are eligible for the resources and tools that will be introduced in the workshop: \n\nForests smaller than 2\,471 acres (1\,000 hectares; any ownership)\nThe rate of harvesting is less than 20% of the mean annual increment (MAI) and EITHER a) the annual harvest is less than 1379.5 cords; OR b) the average annual harvest is less than 1379.5 cords/year during a 5-year cycle (any ownership)\nOnly non-timber forest products are collected or harvested (any ownership)\nBoth: a) the legal right to manage the forest is held at communal level; AND b) the members of the community actively manage the forest or have authorized someone else to manage it\n\nIf you have any questions\, please contact Amy Clark Eagle (a.eagle@us.fsc.org)
