                              October 27, 2009 ·  Heathman Lodge, Vancouver, WA
                               
                               
                              Red Alder is now a valuable PNW hardwood species and with the expectation of a continuing strong hardwood industry, PNW landowners are investing in growing Red Alder sawlogs.  This workshop will provide an in-depth look at Red Alder site selection, plantation establishment, silviculture and markets.   Regional Red Alder scientists and practitioners will offer the best advice and recommendations for managing alder stands.

                              As the use of woody biomass for energy production increases, biomass harvesting and utilization from forested lands will continue to increase.  This workshop will assist forestland managers in designing their harvest units and transportation system to incorporate biomass utilization and realize an economic return from logging slash.
