We offer periodic live webinars on various forest stewardship topics. The webinars are free, but space is limited and pre-registration is required. Below are our upcoming webinars.

Current Forest Health Issues in Western WA

By popular demand, we are reprising this webinar:
Dead and dying trees have proliferated western Washington, especially western redcedars, causing concern for many property owners. Washington State University (WSU) Extension Forestry is offering this free webinar to explain why so many trees are dying right now and what property owners can do. Learn what makes forests healthy or unhealthy and how to recognize when there’s a problem on your property. Topics include insects, diseases, and drought, including their environmental roles and the important interactions between them. Learn about what property owners should do (and not do) to increase tree resilience and mitigate impacts. The seminar will be taught by Kevin Zobrist, professor of forestry at WSU and author of the book Native Trees of Western Washington. This is a condensed version of our in-person seminars. This webinar is geared toward property owners.

When: Thursday, November 14th, 12:05 to 12:55 p.m. or 7:05 to 7:55 p.m.
