Topics will include:

• Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification and markets
• Forestry based carbon offset programs
• Small-scale processing and direct sales
• Working forest conservation easements
• The Jefferson County LandWorks Collaborative
  
• Financial assistance programs for small woodland enterprises
