Foresters ride bikes too. Really, we do. The past few months have been bumpy, but last weekend while out mountain biking with my son I remembered why continuing our work to ensure healthy forests for tomorrow is so important, it is for the generations to come, not ours.

Forester Friday! Brief overview of my standard woods attire and gear when doing inventory work. A bit different from what you will see at a trail head or campground, trading light weight for protection and durability.

Forester Friday: This week on the west side of the Olympic Peninsula looking at slash and reforestation. This was salvage logged after a wildfire, machine piled, then cedar salvaged. The slash loading is high, but proximity to the ocean result in low fire hazard, but hard planting. (No Audio)

Forester Friday! A follow up on last weeks PSA about controlling listed noxious/invasive Himalayan blackberry. This work is being done to support the landowner’s objectives of creating and maintaining habitats for native flora and fauna.

Forester Friday! A little public service announcement about controlling invasive species.

@momalusk.bsky.social you are my go to critter identifier

It’s Forester Friday, looking at root disease impacts and treatment in western WA Douglas-fir stands.
