Across the United States, old-growth forests have been devastated, but there is great interest in managing this important but missing habitat.
Penn State Extension will hold a Managing for Old Growth with Novel Threats webinar on March 13th from 8 to 9:15 am EST
Maintaining and managing old-growth was difficult, but with the rise of issues like climate change, invasive species, and forest health threats like hemlock woolly adelgid (Adelges tsugae) it has become much harder.
During this webinar, Paul Catanzaro from UMass will provide practical advice about pushing forests towards old growth, responding to climate change and other novel threats, as well as what the future may hold for old growth across the eastern United States.
What will participants learn?
- Practical tips for managing for old-growth
- How to maintain old growth with novel threats like climate change and invasive insects
- What the future may hold for old-growth forests
