Zoom Presentation on Forest Health and Resiliency at Turtleback Mountain and Turtlehead Preserves

The Con­ser­va­tion Land Bank and the Preser­va­tion Trust recent­ly com­plet­ed a for­est assess­ment at Turtle­back and Turtle­head Pre­serves. The result­ing report (click here to view report) out­lines a vari­ety of for­est man­age­ment actions aimed at increas­ing for­est health, habi­tat val­ue and cli­mate change resiliency.

Staff are incor­po­rat­ing the rec­om­mend­ed actions into the forth­com­ing update to the Turtle­back Moun­tain Stew­ard­ship and Man­age­ment Plan. In antic­i­pa­tion of a future that includes more active for­est stew­ard­ship, the Land Bank recent­ly applied for and received a $30,000 grant from the Wash­ing­ton Depart­ment of Nat­ur­al Resources to imple­ment small-scale for­est man­age­ment demon­stra­tion projects.

To learn more about the Land Bank’s for­est health and resilien­cy objec­tives and the planned demon­stra­tion projects, please join Land Bank, SJI Con­ser­va­tion Dis­trict and Rain Shad­ow Con­sult­ing staff at 5:30pm on Wednes­day, Decem­ber 15, for a 30-minute Zoom pre­sen­ta­tion fol­lowed by a 30-minute Q&A ses­sion. The pre­sen­ta­tion and Q&A will be record­ed and post­ed to the Land Bank web­site for lat­er viewing.
