Collective forest management decisions of people who own and manage private family woodlands are one of the biggest opportunities to remove carbon pollution in the Northeast. Whether you’re a landowner with forests of your own to manage or a city dweller, forest management decisions affect your life.
How we manage our forests may determine how well forests can handle droughts, recover from storms, and cope with insect outbreaks, events that are increasing in frequency and severity as the climate changes. Forest management can also affect carbon storage and sequestration. When forests are lost, they can no longer store or absorb carbon.
The Nature Conservancy will hold a How To Create Healthier Forests in New England webinar on March 10th at 2 pm ET.
In this Nature Connects webinar, TNC in Massachusetts forest ecologist Dr. Laura Marx and Richard Campbell from the American Forest Foundation will explain how to create healthier forests.
They will discuss the science behind forest management, what to do if you’re a private landowner, and they will introduce the new Family Forest Carbon Program that gives small landowners access to the upfront funding and expertise needed to enter the carbon markets.
