Forest Stewardship in a Changing Climate
A virtual symposium for forest property owners
Will your trees survive the future?
Between heat domes and record droughts, it can be tough to be a tree right now. As we are transitioning into a warmer and drier climate, tree mortality is on the rise. Trees with low drought tolerance like hemlocks and cedars are particularly struggling, and other species are also impacted. Will our native trees survive? Should we be planting other species?
If you own wooded property in the Puget Sound area, be sure to join us for this free virtual symposium to learn how to increase the long-resilience of your forest and give your trees a fighting chance.
Topics covered
- How climate change is impacting Puget Sound area forests
- Maintaining a healthy forest in a changing climate
- How drought and heat affect trees
- Climate change impacts on forest wildlife
- Planting the right tree species
- Is assisted migration necessary?
