February’s Fireside Chat will take place on February 18 and focus on Tool Time! NNRG’s Director of Forestry, Kirk Hanson, will share his favorite tools for managing his family’s woodlands, and invite participants to share their own. He’ll cover chainsaws, transportation, planting shovels, hand tools, pruning saws, clothing, and much more. Audience participation will be a key part of this chat, so bring your questions, comments, and favorite tools to the conversation!
Do you have a go-to tool, a question about gear, or a piece of equipment you’ve been thinking of adding to your toolkit? Grab your favorite cozy beverage, settle in by the fire, and join us for a discussion about the tools that help get the job done in the woods.
Join us virtually on February 18 at 7:30 p.m.
You can find past Fireside Chats on our YouTube channel.

Join us for a snowshoe tour of the Nisqually Community Forest, a community-owned and managed working forest in the foothills of Mount Rainier. As we explore the landscape, you’ll learn how the Nisqually Community Forest and NNRG are restoring the forest and enhancing its resilience to a changing climate. The tour will take place on February 27th from 8:30am – 3pm. Participants will meet at Whittaker Mountaineering in Ashford, WA.
The ‘snowshoeing’ part of the tour is contingent on new snowfall, since the areas we will tour are mostly snow-free at the moment. If snow cover doesn’t return, the tour will proceed, but in hiking footwear.
Space is limited, so register today!
