The MidCoast Watersheds Council hosts a talk on the intersection of forests and climate at its March meeting, Thursday, March 3, 6:30 p.m.  The topic: “This Ain’t Your Grandfather’s Forestry: Forest Management in a Changing Climate.” 

Kirk Hanson from Northwest Natural Resource Group will discuss principles of Ecological Forestry that his organization has been developing to help forests in the Pacific Northwest adapt to a changing climate. By highlighting the myriad forests NNRG manages across the region, Kirk will share examples of forest management strategies that provide alternatives to conventional industrial plantation forestry that has been the standard in the Northwest for decades.
