Urban Forestry South

Scott Bagley, Program Director of the National Network of Forest Practitioners will give a webinar session on Forest Cooperatives. Join us for this one-hour session that will:

• highlight examples of how cooperatives are bringing more landowners into forestry, coordinating cross-boundary projects to enable treatment of small-acreage parcels, and maintaining stewardship continuity across generations.

• share information about the progress of a national roundtable of forest cooperative leaders who are working together to share lessons learned.

• describe how cooperatives are facilitating peer-to-peer learning, assisting landowners with climate change adaptation, and exploring ways to sustainably aggregate biomass.

• describe how cooperatives and other conservation and natural resources professionals can work together to conserve working forests and re-weave forested landscapes parcel by parcel.
