Forest Stewardship Coached Planning Classes

Tuesdays, Sept. 7 - Oct. 26; Field Day, Saturday, Oct. 9

The "Coached" Forest Stewardship Planning Shortcourse is an educational opportunity for owners of family forests in Washington. The informational, hands on, practical approach of this program will enable landowners to learn useful information about their natural resources. Participants will be able to author their own Forest Stewardship Plan with guidance and "coaching" by natural resource professionals. This nine-session program is designed to help owners of private forestlands help themselves by learning and deciding what is best for their individual property. If you want to identify problems and develop solutions that meet your ownership goals, this program is for you. For more specific information, please see the flyer. To register, please see the registration form.

Folks can participate two different ways.  Those folks with an entire day available (8:30am-4pm) can become a volunteer member of the boat crew and circumnavigate BainbridgeIsland while seining 6 different sites - RSVP to the Volunteer Coordinator (beachseine@gmail.com) is required.  Folks with just a morning available (8:30-10am), can participate from shore at FayBainbridgeState Park - no RSVP necessary.  Additional information available from the Volunteer Coordinator (beachseine@gmail.com).
