Special Stewardship Opportunities

There is a lot of potential to increase ecological value by enhancing the structural diversity of the forest and expanding wildlife habitat in the right-of-way. But what really creates the opportunity is the landowner’s passion for their unique property.

In Search of the Elusive Flying Yam

So, what does it take to find a murrelet nest? We found three nests from the dedicated effort of two expert climbers in one week of hard work. But this hides the reality that finding the trees to search was the culmination of decades of experience and the use of scent dogs.

Different Problems, Common Themes

Dead zones are not only harmful for marine life, but can disrupt many industries such as fishing, oystering, and tourism. However, how do we fix this problem when only 3 states (and D.C.) are in contact with the actual Bay, and getting the surrounding states to reduce nutrient inputs could disrupt their industries?

Understanding the Benefits of a Forest Stewardship Plan

A Forest Stewardship Plan is a comprehensive strategic document that outlines the management objectives, strategies, and actions for a specific forested area. It is basically a thoughtful road map of how to manage your forest for the foreseeable future that promotes forest, water, and human health.

Beneath the Canopy

The Resilient Forestry field crew spends several months out of the year working and living in every type of managed forest of the Pacific Northwest. Seeing so many different iterations of the same forest type, you start to feel the differences; some forests are electrifying while others simply exist.

Planning and Adaptive Management

Achieving goals starts with making a plan. Good management means adapting that plan as times change and lessons are learned. From vast landscapes to individual forest stands, we use every tool available to write sound plans and turn learning into smarter management.

The Bridge From Landscapes to Stands

Within Resilient Forestry, we like to think of ourselves as a bridge between forest science and forest management. This project was a perfect example. Moving from a landscape analysis, to a landscape prescription, to a preliminary proposal, to the eventual implementation, represents an iterative process of scientific evaluation, filtering through management objectives, and balancing disparate social pressures.

Mysterious Forests

One discussion from last year that particularly resonated with me was our exploration of complex early seral forests. Our work constantly reminds me that a forest’s story isn’t a straight path but a rich, layered narrative over time, where every stage—no matter how abundant or scarce—adds to the overall depth and beauty.
