Working for Conservation: Active Engagement in Forest and Woodland Sustainability
Date: Thursday, October 10, 2013
Location: Sheraton Grand Sacramento Hotel, 1230 J Street, Sacramento, CA 95814 916-341-401
Overview
California’s forests and woodlands provide a tremendous array of values for society, including diverse habitats, water supply, carbon storage, energy, building products, aesthetics, outdoor recreation. With a population approaching 38 million people and 14 million international visitors, there is no area of the state not touched by humans. This conference will focus on what we can learn from innovative and novel strategies that seek to achieve desired outcome in natural systems that have been historically altered and will continue to be altered. We have scores of risk avoidance strategies that these new approaches can be compared to. We will discuss new policies and management strategies that recognize the realities of these impacts, and encourage active approaches to ensure that these values continue into the future.
