Conserving Mature and Old-Growth Forests in a Changing Climate Speaker Series

There is broad agreement that protecting and managing forests is critical for meeting global climate mitigation and sustainable development goals. However, there is less agreement on how to determine what is ‘best’ management to reach these goals in the context of mature and old-growth forests (MOG). This webinar series invites a variety of speakers representing the United States Forest Service, Tribal nations, private forest owners, forest industry, academia, and forest advocacy organizations to share how they are responding to and shaping the discussion on mature and old-growth forests, including as mandated by Executive Order 140752 and the National Old-Growth Amendment.
Join us every Thursday from August 29 to December 5 from 12:00 -12:55 pm U.S. ET. Note that there will not be webinars on September 19 and November 28.
The series is free and open to the public. Each session will be recorded. We will offer CEUs for foresters in attendance. Please email yff@yale.edu(link sends e-mail) for further information.
