SUMMARY:Mass Timber Case Study
DESCRIPTION:A part of the Yale Forest Forum: The Future of Wood Building Products in a Changing Climate \nWood is a renewable resource that has wide material applications in many industries. Wood products sourced from sustainably managed forests store carbon and can play an important role in combating climate change. Recent innovations in the use of wood have led to the development of new products that can replace traditional fossil-based carbon-intensive materials\, particularly in the construction and energy sectors. Understanding the potential environmental impacts and societal implications of increases in both conventional and emerging wood products across their respective life cycles\, as well as their possible reuse in a circular construction economy\, is critical in assessing the climate mitigation potential of wood vs. other materials. \nWhat is the future role of forest products in addressing climate\, resources\, societal\, and environmental challenges? What are the environmental\, economic\, and societal implications for using more forest products? Hear from speakers representing forestry\, industrial ecology\, architecture\, conservation\, and academia. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Winter Tree Identification
DESCRIPTION:Identifying trees without their leaves can be difficult. However\, knowing how to use their twigs\, buds\, and bark can make it a lot easier. In this program\, we will cover the basics of winter tree identification through a combination of presentations\, in-field tree identification\, and twig identification practice. Join us as we explore the winter beauty of Schmeeckle’s trees and learn how to: \n\nuse dichotomous keys\,\napply key terminology to identify trees and twigs\, and\nidentify trees by bark\, twig\, and buds.\n\nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Using Ecological Forestry to Support Bird Management Objectives
DESCRIPTION:The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Forest Ecology Working Group (FEWG) and NCTC\, working in collaboration with many FWS programs and partners\, have developed a monthly lecture series to address the 50-year decline of 3 billion birds through partnerships\, conservation science and forest management. The series tells a compelling story about forest bird population declines\, partnership opportunities\, and forest management actions that can support bird population recovery and sustainability. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Visual Merchandising
DESCRIPTION:Join Mike Demchik\, Ph.D. and Tigerton Lumber Co. as we follow three trees from standing stock to milled wood. In this workshop we will explore how defects move through a log by evaluating the standing stock of three species\, cutting them down\, merchandising and grading the down logs\, and milling them on site. Throughout this process we will discuss: \n\nlog grading\nstanding stock grading\ninternal rate of return\nmilling\ngrading and scaling of lumber\n\nInfo here.
