Did you know your life depends on forests? 🌳 We all rely on forests in countless ways. They generate the oxygen we breathe, provide the water that quenches our thirst, and sustain the livelihoods of 1.6 billion people around the world... including yourself. 🌍🌱 Forests play a critical role in maintaining a healthy climate and, ultimately, in ensuring our survival. Yet, despite their importance, they continue to be under threat. It's time to take action and protect our precious forests for future generations. #Reforestation #Forestry #Trees #ClimateAction

The USDA Forest Service's recent funding initiatives are a game-changer for wildfire resilience and sustainable forestry. By providing $25 million to local businesses through the Hazardous Fuels Transportation Assistance program, they are reducing wildfire risk, supporting local economies, and promoting sustainable wood products. Additionally, the $15 million investment to connect underserved forest landowners with climate markets opens up new economic opportunities while preserving vital forest ecosystems. These programs are a significant step forward in creating climate-resilient landscapes and supporting healthy working forests. We heartily support measures like these that focus on supporting vulnerable populations, as they are simultaneously the most likely to be affected and least likely to be able to weather such adversity. #WildfireResilience #ForestryInnovation #ClimateSolutions #USFS #SustainableForestry #TaskForceProgress

The USDA Forest Service announces funding to local businesses and underserved populations to reduce wildfire risk. … In early August, the USFS announced a funding opportunity of $25 million through the Hazardous Fuels Transportation Assistance program to reduce wildfire risk, increase market opportunities, and support local jobs. The program is available to local businesses that remove hazardous fuels from national forests and transport the material to be processed for wood products or services. In late August, the USFS announced it is investing $15 million to connect underserved and small-acreage forest landowners with emerging climate markets. These investments will provide access to new economic opportunities to maintain healthy working forests as pressures increase to convert forests to other uses. … Learn more about these two innovative programs. >> https://lnkd.in/gqtn6dBp … #WildfireTaskForce #TaskForceProgress #Forestry #ClimateSolutions

New Zealand’s native lizards face many dangers that threaten their survival. Here are some of the critical threats: Predators: Introduced species like rats, cats, and stoats prey on our lizards. Habitat Loss: Urban development and agriculture are destroying the natural habitats lizards rely on. Climate Change: Rising temperatures and changing weather patterns disrupt their ecosystems. We can all play a role in protecting these unique species.

Silvopasture, by integrating trees, forage, and livestock on the same land, offers environmental benefits such as improved local climate resilience. This practice is a relevant solution to deforestation trends, contributing to the global effort against climate change.

How it feels when welcoming a new customer: Like the American Woodcock's walking dance - celebratory, deliberate, and cautious, with a bit of swagger. Every step counts! It's a time to measure-twice-cut-once because there's only one chance to onboard a customer the right way. By the way - if you want to see the American Woodcock dancing, pay attention in younger forests and older, wet shrubby fields across the northeast, sometimes even crossing rural country roads after a hard rain. They rely on more intensive forest management practices for their habitat in the absence of wildfires. Practices like clearcutting and partial harvests pave the way for shrubland and early successional forest, where the American Woodcock breeds. #biodiversity #customersuccess #forestry

Silvopasture is an ancient and proven practice that harmoniously integrates trees, forage and livestock on the same land. 🐐🐐🍃🌱🌳 🌴By combining these elements, silvopasture brings numerous environmental advantages, including improved local climate resilience. ☘️In light of the global deterioration of natural resources and forests, silvopasture systems offer a relevant solution to deforestation trends. https://lnkd.in/dkdsUSn4 #agroforestry #gpi2050 #festuskiplagat

For hundreds of thousands of years we have used trees as a home, as protection and for nourishment. Through #agroforestry we can create a bridge with that ancestral #nature of ours, feel protected, protect our crops, our #animals and our #future. Imagine a new landscape, one that mitigates microclimates, that imbues the land with the capacity to respond positively to adverse weather events, that stops erosion and flooding, that sequesters #carbon, that provides a home for birds, insects and animals. We can bring productivity, #ecosystem services and beauty together, then why not? When farms will merge with #woodlands and #prairies, instead of #deserts and landslides, we will have already taken a big step. ph.
