Coming Events Ecological Forestry Workshop in New Jersey's Pinelands, November 16–17, 2009
Dr. Jerry Franklin, University of Washington, will introduce core principles of natural disturbance and natural development-based silviculture. Dr. Bob Mitchell, from the Jones Ecological Research Center, will discuss fire as a natural disturbance process and how to integrate fire into holistic forest management. Understanding the importance of biological legacies, recognizing the role of stand development processes and disturbances, and appreciating the role of recovery periods between disturbance events are the principal concepts of ecological forestry. In this workshop, we also recognize that forest management options are often limited by economic realities, social desires, and past management practices. Therefore, we also will include presentations regarding market outlooks, wildlife objectives, forest restoration, and climate change and how these issues relate to an ecological forestry approach to management scenarios ranging from commodity production to reserve management.

Good instructors; good location, great discussions. One of the most valuable things was interacting with and learning from each other. This [workshop] has given me great fuel for thought as to how to apply this to forestry in NY, in The State Forest Units.
