The values that guide the protection and management of natural areas are an ideal match for retaining existing, but rare, old-growth forests and allowing recovering forests to age into such conditions. This webinar will explore the opportunities for natural areas managers to serve as key stewards for retaining and recruiting old-growth forests and considerations for managing special places that operate on timescales far longer than our own. Additionally, you will learn about the Old-Growth Forest Network, a national network of protected existing and future old-growth forests, and how you can join this community.
