Conservation Forestry and Your Land:

---

If you own forested land in New York or the Northeast, you may be hearing more about conservation, habitat, climate resilience, and stewardship than ever before. Forests are increasingly recognized not only for their timber value, but also for the important benefits they provide to wildlife, clean water, recreation, and community resilience.

Join Todd Waldron of Winnakee Land Trust for an accessible introduction to conservation forestry and the growing importance of conservation value in how forests are understood, managed, and protected today. Todd will discuss the landscape features that conservation organizations and landowners increasingly focus on — including wildlife habitat, forest connectivity, watershed protection, recreation in, and long-term forest health — and how these concepts can fit alongside active forest management and family ownership goals.

The webinar will also explore how landowners can incorporate conservation thinking into activities they may already be doing, such as working with a consulting forester, developing a forest management plan, planning for future ownership transitions, or exploring stewardship opportunities.

Whether you are actively considering conservation options or simply want to better understand the broader value of your land and the resources available to help steward it, this webinar will provide practical context and a clearer understanding of the opportunities available to forest landowners today.
