Join us on the evening of March 9th for guest speaker Jerry Franklin, professor emeritus at the School of Environmental and Forest Sciences, University of Washington. Professor Franklin is a world-renowned forest ecologist who has influenced generations of foresters in the Pacific Northwest through his teaching and engaging in forest management issues with complex and wide-ranging societal implications, including the development of the Northwest Forest Plan.  He will share thoughts on his long career including principles of ecological forest management in wet and dry forest types of the Northwest, and his firsthand experience with the catastrophic impacts of the Mt. St. Helens eruption in 1980 and subsequent ecosystem recovery as detailed in the recently published book, After the Blast: The Ecological Recovery of Mt. St. Helens.

The meeting will be held via Zoom at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, March 9. One hour of CFE credit is being requested. We will begin with the presentation, followed by Q&A and then chapter business.
