Encouraging landowners to implement sustainable forestry management has a unique set of challenges including those related to capacity limitations. This webinar will showcase the work of the American Forest Foundation in partnership with NRCS, piloting capacity building efforts in the west by focusing on increasing local capacity. In addition, attendees will hear from the Boulder Valley & Longmont Conservation Districts and their efforts to increase forester capacity and engage more landowners. We will be joined by Vanessa McCracken, District Manager, Boulder Valley & Longmont Conservation Districts, and Natalie Omundson, Senior Manager Western Conservation and Fire, American Forest Foundation.
This webinar is intended for conservation district professionals, foresters, and natural resource professionals as well as anyone seeking to learn more about the role of conservation districts in forestry and innovative approaches to increasing local capacity.
