The role of forests as natural climate solutions given their ability to remove carbon from the atmosphere and store it has gained increased attention over the past several years. This presentation by University of Vermont Professor Tony D’Amato will review the basics of forest carbon and how the management decisions we make influence this critical forest benefit.
The series is free and open to the public; however, advance registration is requested to make the check-in process quicker.
