Forestry

Salvage logging and re-seeding a forest after a wildfire helps reduce flooding and returns water levels to normal faster, according to a new WSU research.

WSU Extension’s upcoming Coached Planning Short Course will teach forest owners develop effective management plans for their forests, beginning Feb. 20.

A “Ties to the Land” workshop will help landowners in Northeastern Washington to protect their forests, farms and ranches with a succession plan.
