2 ALD ER M AN A GE ME NT W O R K S H O P Workshop Information WHEN: WHERE: Do you have alder on your property? Red alder (Alnus rubra) is one of the most common native hardwood trees in western Washington. This moisture-loving tree is most common in riparian areas near streams and wetlands, where it contributes to high-quality habitat and clean water. Alder is short-lived, though, and older stands can quickly lose their value and stability, often degenerating into brush patches dominated by invasive species. For larger properties, harvesting alder for timber production may be a viable option. Historically considered a weed tree, red alder is now a commercially-valuable tree with recent log prices as high as $875/Mbf for high-quality logs. This workshop will take a comprehensive look at both the challenges and opportunities that red alder presents to landowners. We will discuss management options for different property sizes and different property uses (e.g. small-scale timber production vs. backyard forests and natural areas) and how to provide for long-term health, habitat, and water quality in the process. Speakers will include: State, university, and industry experts in hardwood silviculture, streamside ecology and management, and local hardwood markets. Friday, Oct. 6 5:00-8:30 PM (first half) Saturday, Oct. 7 9:30 AM - 5:30 PM (second half) Weston High School nd St NE, Arlington, WA (5 min. drive east of Exit 206 from I-5) FULL WORKSHOP REGISTRATION Registration $60/person Must be received by September 23.
