Applied Ecological Silviculture Webinar Series
Online via Zoom
Applied Ecological Silviculture
Monthly on Wednesdays | Noon-1 P.M. CT
Foresters and land managers are increasingly entrusted with implementing forestry practices that meet a variety of ecological objectives. Ecological silviculture is the toolbox managers can use to maintain the structure, composition, function, and dynamics of natural forest ecosystems. Join us for insightful discussions with national experts as we expand our understanding of silviculture based on natural disturbance models and ecological principles. This six-part webinar series will culminate with follow-up workshops to review on-the-ground examples that utilize these principles.
Thanks to the generosity of the Wisconsin SFI® Implementation Committee, we are pleased to offer this webinar series for free.
