Creating Healthy Wildfire-Safe and Wildlife-Friendly Forests

Is my forest healthy?
How do I know?

This event offers the opportunity to:
• Learn to identify and manage common conditions that make your trees weak and vulnerable to tree-killing bark beetles, root rots, defoliators, and other pests.
• Learn how to examine tree density, recognize if your forest is “overstocked” and how to thin and prune trees so they are healthy, productive, and safe from fire.
• Get ideas for improving and protecting wildlife habitat in your woods.
• Acquire hands-on experience measuring trees. You keep the instruments for monitoring growth and changes.
• Learn about programs that will help you improve forest health, reduce wildfire risk, and save you time and money.
• Meet foresters, contractors, and family forest owners!
