Forest Carbon Series
Managing Carbon for Northeastern Forests, a yearlong educational series launched in the Spring 2023 issue of Northern Woodlands magazine, provides guidance on how landowners and other forest managers can care for their forests with the climate in mind, including opportunities to promote carbon sequestration and storage, and to help forests adapt to such stressors as rising temperatures, changing weather patterns, and invasive species.
This series is generously supported by a grant from the Virginia Wellington Cabot Foundation, and written by Alexandra Kosiba, an assistant professor of forestry and a forestry specialist at the University of Vermont Extension, who leads the Vermont Forest Carbon Inventory project. Kosiba also provides educational presentations for the Securing Northeast Forest Carbon Program, a federally funded collaboration among state foresters in New England and New York.
Explore the series below, and stay-tuned for the next installment in our Winter 2023 magazine.
