Interested in using #WoodyBiomass (branches, bark, small trees, shrubs, sawdust, chips) for a variety of ag/gardening applications? Cindy Chen @ucanr seeks growers, ranchers, forest landowners & others to complete survey and help develop useful resources: bit.ly/3yEeD6E

So happy that this report came out and happy with the results we found. “It's hugely encouraging that we've gotten all these trees in the ground, but it's not the end of the process – it's just the beginning,”
Report: Quickly planting #trees after #wildfires is crucial for communities, ecosystems, and carbon goals.
“In a lot of locations, forests in the Sierra Nevada that burn at high severity are not regenerating on their own,” - Susie Kocher @UCsierraforest

We sadly note the passing of Ryan Tompkins, RPF #3108. He was well known for his work on landscape level #forest & fire restoration efforts in the northern Sierra Nevada. His work has greatly influenced many forestry practices & #foresters. He'll be greatly missed. ❤️❤️❤️
