DCNR Hosts May 11 Webinar On Forest Resources Assessment, Strategy
|
|
The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources will host a webinar on May 11 starting at 10:00 a.m. on its draft Forest Resources Assessment and Strategy required by the federal Farm Bill. Comments on the strategy are due May 21.
During the webinar, DCNR staff will walk participants through the document to help facilitate a better understanding of its content. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions during the session. The Forest Assessment and Strategy is part of a coordinated, nationwide forest planning effort that will serve as a foundation for programs aimed at sustaining our forests for future generations. The Assessment and Strategy describes current forest conditions and trends, identifies priority issues, delineates important landscapes across the Commonwealth, and proposes long-term strategies for achieving sustainability.
As mandated by the 2008 Farm Bill, completing this effort also makes Pennsylvania eligible for continued federal funding for its private lands, urban and community forestry, wildland fire, and forest health programs. Stakeholder feedback is a vital in developing strategies for charting the future of Pennsylvania’s forests.
