NYC's forested #naturalareas need our care and attention. 93% of NYC forests contain invasive species such as vines and herbaceous plants. If left unchecked, this can significantly affect forest health. To keep forests healthy, the City must invest in a long-term approach to caring for these spaces, starting with creating more green jobs in conservation and #forestmanagement! Revisit our Forest Management Framework to learn more about the state of our forests and how we can help sustain them: https://bit.ly/41jAWbJ

March marks a time of new beginnings in our forests, and it's an ideal opportunity to spotlight the importance of active forest management. As trees start to bud and new plant life emerges, it's crucial to remember how management practices contribute to a healthier forest ecosystem. Active management not only helps reduce the risk of wildfire but also ensure diverse plant and animal habitats, leading to more resilient forests. Interested in learning more about these practices and their impact? Check out our informative videos on the We the Forest Facebook page. They provide a clear, detailed look at how these management strategies work and why they're essential for our forests' longevity and health.

🌱 Inspired by Young Conservationists 🌱 I was truly touched by a video from my niece, Tiffany, aged 12, and her brother Oliver, aged 10, who run a page called O’Tiif Show, where they share their passion for nature through engaging videos. Both are true nature enthusiasts. Their recent discussion on the potential consequences of rivers stopped flowing struck a chord with me. Children thoughts, their insight mind, though simple, rings true: the cessation of river flow would indeed have an impact on our lives. Freshwater systems are the backbone of our communities, shaping cultures and preserving biodiversity. Yet, these vital ecosystems are facing unprecedented threats. Wetlands are disappearing rapidly, and the populations of freshwater plants and animals are declining. Moreover, a growing number of people worldwide are grappling with water scarcity. It's important that we take urgent action to address these challenges and safeguard the health of our freshwater ecosystems for future generations.

Although the following video focuses on saving eastern Washington forests with proactive forest health treatments -- and Forest Bridges focuses its Active Conservation Management strategies on the dry, moist and transitional O&C Forests in western Oregon -- it is nonetheless a great tutorial with similar approaches that we recommend to restoring overstocked dry forests, including old growth forests at high risk for crown fire, using variable retention regeneration thinning and prescribed fire. #washingtonstatedepartmentofnaturalresources #oandclands #rxfire Link to the video below:
