Forestry Principles and Practice: Guides for the Challenges of Managing Forest Land in the 21st Century
Why did each of us choose to manage and or own forestland? How do we reconcile the production of forest products required by 21st century society with the imperative to protect the ecological health of forest ecosystems? What is our response to new challenges such as climate change and increased harvesting of biomass for energy production?
The Forest Guild’s fourth Northeast Regional Meeting provided foresters, land managers and land owners an opportunity to discuss these and other important topics in the comfortable and relaxed setting of Ohana Camp in Fairlee, Vermont and then journey into the forests of northern New England to consider how forest managers are responding to these challenges. Please see the full agenda here.
Below are three videos from the Forest Guild's 2011 Northeast meeting.
