UNH Cooperative Extension will hold an one-hour Managing for Wildlife Habitat & Forest Carbon webinar on June 24th from 3 to 4 pm.
The University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension is holding a Forest Carbon Webinar series in June that will focus on forest carbon dynamics and carbon markets. The series will provide an overview of the dynamics of forest carbon sequestration and storage and how forest management affects these processes. It will also discuss how carbon markets functions, their accounting and the methodology for calculating credits.
The series will present a brief overview of general principles of managing for wildlife habitat and forest carbon. The series will conclude with the anatomy of carbon offset projects, how deals are structured and the process for bringing projects to the market.
Wildlife habitat and forest carbon management objectives are generally complementary, and involve decision making about desired landscape and stand level characteristics.
In this webinar, Mariko Yamasaki, Team Leader/Research Wildlife Biologist, U.S. Forest Service and Coeli Hoover, Research Ecologist, U.S. Forest Service will provide an overview of the general principles of managing for wildlife habitat and forest carbon.
They will review stand/ area characteristics that shape these management decisions and discuss how those decisions influence the presence/ absence of within stand features in managed/ unmanaged stands.
