Integrating Forestry and Conservation: Strategies for Land Trusts

Sustainable forest management plays a crucial role in land conservation, helping land trusts balance ecological preservation with responsible land use. Consulting foresters serve as key allies in this process, providing expertise in inventory assessments, management planning, and stakeholder mediation. But how can land trusts navigate the complexities of balancing conservation goals with timber harvesting, recreation, and climate resilience?

Join Shaun Lagueux, President of New England Forestry Consultants, Incorporated, for an in-depth discussion on the intersection of forestry and conservation, where we’ll explore best practices for sustainable forest management, stakeholder engagement, and conservation easements. This session is designed for land trust professionals, private landowners, and conservation practitioners looking to enhance their approach to forest stewardship.

Key topics include:

• The role of consulting foresters in supporting land trusts

• Balancing conservation, sustainable timber harvesting, and public access

• Strategies for engaging private landowners, logging companies, and government agencies

• Best practices in forest stewardship, including selective logging and climate adaptation strategies
