Penn State Center For Private Forests Hosts Webinars Jan. 12 On Stream Buffers; Feb. 9 On Fostering Old Forest Conditions


The
Penn State Center for Private Forests will host two PA Forests Web Seminar Series January 12 on Streamside Buffers and Live Stake Planting and February 9 on Fostering Old Forest Conditions Through Structural Complexity Enhancement

Both webinars will be held at Noon and again at 7:00 p.m. each day.

January 12 

Pennsylvania has over 86,000 miles of streams, more than any other state. Most of our streams run through our forest lands and woodlots, but many run through fields and yards, as well. Learn how to repair eroding banks and what trees to plant.

February 9 

The vast majority of Pennsylvania's forests are middle-aged, with most trees in a forest community being of the same age, often around 100 years old. However, efforts to foster resiliency and favorable habitat conditions across the landscape, statewide, and regionally focus on the need to diversify forest succession at a large scale, creating more early-successional (young forest) and late-successional/old growth (older forest) conditions.
