This webinar shows foresters how to use AI tools to streamline everyday forestry work to save time, improve communication, and work more efficiently. It was presented by Donn Downey, Consulting Forester and Software Developer, Upper Valley Forest Management and Forest Metrix.

Consider how understanding natural development in Great Lakes mixed-pine woodlands can guide ecological silvicultural systems to restore and sustain diverse ecosystem services. Presented by Brian Palik, Ph.D., Forest Ecologist with American Nature Solutions.

Learn important considerations for restoring oak woodlands, including topics such as ground layer diversity, economic considerations, and regeneration and recruitment. Presented by Ben Knapp, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Silviculture in the School of Natural Resources at the University of Missouri. 

Explore practical strategies for combining forest management, ecological restoration, wildlife habitat, and timber production in the U.S. Lake States, using real-world examples at the stand and individual tree level. Presented by Michael Demchik, Ph.D., Professor of Silviculture in the College of Natural Resources at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point.

Silvicultural pathways for structural and compositional restoration involve variants of irregular shelterwood silviculture, including the Acadian Femelschlag, an irregular group shelterwood system that has seen growing application since its inception in 1995. Presented by Bob Seymour, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Silviculture, Maine’s School of Forest Resources.

Using examples from experiments in mixedwood forest types, explore these systems and the subsequent research assessing the use of irregular shelterwood as a way to emulate natural disturbance dynamics to maintain structural complexity and ecological function. Presented by Patricia Raymond, Ph.D., Forest Research Scientist with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests of Quebec.  

Explore the foundation and principles behind silviculture strategies we call ecological silviculture. Presented by Tony D’Amato, Ph.D., Professor of Silviculture and Applied Forest Ecology, University of Vermont.
