Small woodland owners in the Pacific Northwest manage some of the
most biologically rich and productive forests in the world. By
understanding the unique markets and tools available to them, woodland
owners can develop a financial model that optimizes the revenue
potential of their forests while protecting the conservation value of
the land for generations to come.
This one-day seminar will
introduce landowners to a series of strategies and tools that can help
them reduce management costs, diversify revenue streams and protect the
ecological values of their land into the future.
Topics will include:
- FSC “green” Certification and Markets
- Selling Carbon Offsets
- Small-scale Wood Processing and Value-added Sales
- Current Use Taxation
- Working Forest Conservation Easements
