VISIONING THE FUTURE FOREST SPEAKER SERIES, PART ONE

RESTORATION PROCESSES

Ecological Thinning

Led by FOREST⇌FIRE Co-Creator Michael Llewellyn, we begin to vision a Future Forest that is resilient to catastrophic fire and a warming atmosphere by learning about restoration processes.

  • Why are our forests currently vulnerable?

  • What does a resilient forest actually look like?

  • What processes will help the forest become resilient?

  • Why are some trees being removed?

  • Why save some trees but not others?

  • Do tractors harm forest soils?

  • How will a resilient forest affect watersheds?

  • When: Friday, April 29, 2022, 6-7:30pm

Helping us to learn and talk about these processes are two U.S. Forest Service scientists actively involved in restoration projects on the Tahoe National Forest.
