In the United States, family forest owners (FFOs) manage significant portions of our beautiful, forested landscapes, making their involvement essential for achieving major conservation goals.
The Forest Stewards Guild will hold a Passive Forest Management to Further Ecological Forestry webinar on April 2nd from Noon to 1 pm EDT
This webinar will explore how passive forest management (PFM) and active forest management (AFM) among family forest owners are complementary approaches that preserve unique forest benefits and create a thriving ecosystem that’s greater than the sum of its parts!
Co-author Dr. Paul Catanzaro will unpack the key influences that drive decision-making for family forest owners and the crucial role of foresters in implementing PFM to complement AFM and sustain forest benefits. There will be time for group discussion following the talk.
This webinar will explore the findings from a recent publication: Understanding Passive Forest Management on Family Forest-Owned Land in New England to Further Ecological Forestry (Denaroso, Catanzaro, and Markowski-Lindsay, 2025).
