Scientific rigor and a long-term perspective are key components within Washington's working forest management planning. The outcome is an unparalleled set of environmental benefits that support and maintain our climate, water, wildlife and communities today and in the future. #Sustainability #TheScienceOfModernForestry #ModernForestry #workingforests

Forest carbon programs can be a win-win for the landowners who commit to climate-smart forest management, and businesses that choose to invest in these important conservation projects. Read more: #LandManagement #ForestManagement #LandOwnership #SustainableForestry #CarbonProgram

Scientific rigor and a long-term perspective are key components of our forest management plans. These plans include landscape-scale assessments that address tree health, soil and water quality, forest certification standards, and wildlife habitat. The outcome is a set of tangible environmental benefits that support and maintain our climate, water, wildlife, and communities – both today and in the future. #Sustainability #TheScienceOfModernForestry #ModernForestry 

The Story of How the Baltimore #TreeKeepers, Pruners, and Weed Warriors Made It Happen 🌳 The city's Department of Recreation and Parks has an initiative called "#TreeBaltimore" that focuses on planting, maintaining, and establishing young new trees in the Baltimore landscape. Poor neighborhoods in Baltimore have far less tree canopy than wealthier neighborhoods, and the Baltimore Tree Trust is working to increase tree equity by planting trees in areas that don't have as many as others. Trees in Baltimore help protect and enhance city dwellers' health and property, clean the air by absorbing air pollutants and releasing oxygen, reduce rainwater runoff and erosion, and temper climate. #forestbather #forestlovers #treelovers #urbanforestry #baltimoretreetrust #treecanopy #sustainability #greeninfrastructure #communityforestry

Collective Environmental ADD We've known for decades that fire guards and pre-emptive forestry measures can help reduce the impact of fire, yet even after catastrophic disasters such as the Lesser Slave Lake and Fort McMurray burns, we still fall down on execution. We've known that utility lines need clearing to reduce fire danger and outages during severe wind and ice storms, yet we continually ignore this and suffer multiday (or week-long) incidents. Is it collective, societal ADD or just a lack of oversight from various levels of regulation? Or, is it a hardwired denial characteristic that we all share on any kind of threat? You be the judge.

Temporary ugliness. Timber harvest is a means to an end: - Financial sustainability to further improve the land AND motives keep the land in trees - Wildlife habitat improvement and diversity: not ALL animals need the SAME things at the SAME time… its about being specific 🤌🏼 - Reducing intense wildfire risk: there will still be fire, but a healthier forest can reduce the intensity from a catastrophy to inconvenience. Fire is actually good when used correctly in moderation! Its hard to see in the moment, but keep your eyes on the long term goals… #landownership #landownership #stewarding #christianliving #faithfamilyforest #sustainableforestry #biblicalprinciples #landandladies #forestmanagement #timberland #logging #conservationinaction #environmentallyfriendly #christianlessons

Planting #trees helps create more resilient communities. How? ➡️ By mitigating urban heat islands, contributing to energy conservation, and reducing flooding risks and improving water quality through managing runoff. As a #FundingUrbanForestry partner, we're joining the USDA Forest Service to help create climate-resilient communities for all! #ArborDay 🌳 ID: A photograph of a Black adult and child planting a sapling, with a grassy lawn in the background.

A box of smaller text reads Urban trees and forests help mitigate extreme heat, conserve energy, provide shade, absorb storm water, create wildlife habitat, and filter air and water.
