Aspen and Meadow Restoration Workshop
Tuesday, July 26, 2005
Sponsored by the Sacramento-Shasta Chapter of The Wildlife Society and the Northern California Society of American Foresters.
Fire suppression, overgrazing and hydrological changes are factors that have led to the degradation of aspen and wet meadow habitats in northern California. However, in recent years, public and private forest managers have been undertaking projects for restoring and regenerating these important montane habitats. The primary aim of the workshop will be to explore the logistical issues associated with carrying out these sorts of projects on-the-ground. Biologists, foresters, agency staff and other interested parties are invited to attend.

The workshop will be held entirely in the field in scenic Lassen County. The first set of stops will be to visit a wet meadow and aspen restoration project recently implemented by Fruit Growers Supply Company under the "Clover" timber harvesting plan. The second set of stops will be to visit the Bogard Aspen Enhancement Project on the Lassen National Forest.
