WCSWA April 22 Meeting: Climate Smarter Forestry in Washington County

Speaker: Mike Cafferata, currently ODF Forest Grove District Forester, soon to be OSWA Executive Director.

There is a multi-agency group that has been working on guidance for the forestry community in Washington County to address climate change. The project is called Climate Smarter Forestry in Washington County and their idea is to offer forest owners and forestry professionals information on the anticipated changes and what the implications of those changes might be on your forest regardless of where it is in terms of development.

The effort has brought together forestry professionals from ODF, Tualatin Soil and Water Conservation District, Oregon State University Extension Service, private forestry consulting firms and landowners from Washington County Small Woodlands Association.

Our speaker will be Mike Cafferata, Forest Grove District Forester for the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF). The presentation will include discussion of the development of the project, the intended audience and format of the deliverables and their planned timeline for completion and will also give a preview of key messages from the work. Looking forward to seeing you there.
