About the Workshop
The Sustainable Timber Harvesting event is intended to give participants the knowledge and tools they need to assess, or work with a natural resource professional to assess, whether a proposed timber harvest meets sustainability guidelines. This is an opportunity to have your questions answered by forestry professionals who have experience managing forest resources.
Event Details
Attend a day filled with presentations, learning sessions, and networking opportunities alongside professionals who share your interests! Lunch will be provided.
Forests cover nearly 60% of Pennsylvania, almost 17 million acres. Sustainable forestry describes practices that allow us to meet the needs of the present while preserving options for future generations. Sustaining forests for continued future benefits is dependent upon whether they receive proper management. It is our responsibility to provide healthy sustainable forests for the future.
