There will also be a day-long trade show displaying sustainable resources. The presentation will be held at a business breakfast co-sponsored by the city of SeaTac and the Southwest King County Chamber of Commerce.
Registration is open to the public.
The program is being planned in conjunction with the Washington State Department of Ecology and other groups. Other presenters will include David A. Perry of Oregon State University and Walter Briggs, Staff Forester for the U.S. Navy. The conference will focus on new ideas for better ecosystems management as well as the impact that outdated forestry ideas have in promoting dysfunctional landscapes and economic distress in forest communities.
