1:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Many small woodland owners in the Northwest are interested in the long-term conservation of their forests. Today there are a wide range of private and public programs that can help landowners generate income from their land while protecting and enhancing its conservation values into the future.
This workshop will introduce landowners to four primary programs and market-based opportunities for optimizing the conservation value of their forestland:
• FSC Certification & Markets
• Carbon Offset Markets
• Working Forest Conservation Easements
• Federal Conservation “cost-share” Programs
Through a series of interactive “coached” classroom sessions, landowners will have an opportunity to talk directly with specialists about how these programs can apply to the unique circumstances of their land.
Prior to the workshop, registrants will receive a copy of Northwest Certified Forestry’s new publication “Financing Stewardship Forestry: A Guide to Conservation-based Markets and Programs for Small Forest Landowners”. This guidebook provides a thorough overview of each of the four primary conservation opportunities listed above, and will help landowners be fully prepared for the coached workshop.
Tree Farm Tour
A one-hour tour of the Morgan Family's Tree Farm will be held twice during the event. The Morgan family have implemented a wide range of timber stand improvement and wildlife habitat improvement projects with the assistance of NRCS cost-share programs. Some of their projects have included: oak savannah restoration, pre-commercial thinning, and root rot management.
