I'm proud to announce the fourth video in a number of videos that the New Jersey Forest Service has put together called "Pocket Presentations." This is probably the most technical so far titled "What is Silviculture?" Curious about what silviculture is? Check out the video!

The New Jersey Forest Service has done a number of videos that break down some fairly complex technical issues in forestry called "Pocket Presentations." They are designed to provide a fair amount of detail and promote more nuanced dialog about forest management. The latest in this series is "Why Manage a Forest?"

What is #rewilding? Can handing the reins back to #nature help mend the deep environmental wounds inflicted upon our planet?

"...there are certain species—certain #keystonespecies, as they’re known—which when reintroduced in the right time and the right place, can have a positive impact that cascades both upwards and downwards…"

Why are coastal #wetlands so important?

This is so exciting!

I’ll do screenshots of the couple of paragraphs that really got me excited in the next bits. Basically, even in a highly built environment like NYC where green spaces are only ~ 10% (much lower than many other cities), green spaces (not just parks—all planted areas) show a remarkable capacity to absorb/mitigate #greenhousegasemissions during the growing season. #ClimateChange #naturalclimatesolutions 1/3

Salt-tolerant #mangrove forests can store #carbon and create #habitats for #animals to hunt, hide, and raise their young. These hardy #trees also protect #coastlines from #erosion, reducing wave heights by around 90%.

This #timelapse shares an effective small-scale #demonstration. Watch how those mini-mangrove trees defend the land from storm surges.
