Tour an Adaptive Silviculture for Climate Change
project at Crosby Farm Regional Park

Crosby Farm Regional Park
2595 Crosby Farm Road
St. Paul, MN 55116

Followed by happy hour at
Bad Weather Brewing Company
414 7th St W, St. Paul

Greetings MN SAF members!

Please join us for a casual and informative MN SAF Summer Meeting in St. Paul on Tuesday, August 24th from 3-5pm (with optional happy hour after). We will tour an Adaptive Silviculture for Climate Change (ASCC) project in Crosby Farm Regional Park in the floodplain forest along the Mississippi River. The project is a collaboration among the Mississippi Park Connection, The University of Minnesota, and the national ASCC program.

The tour will be a great chance to learn and see what the Mississippi Park Connection is doing to manage their urban forest where EAB and flooding have dramatically changed the forest canopy. The Park Connection will walk us through their treatments and approaches for planning this future in the context of climate change and finding suitable replacement canopy tree species for ash.

This event is for SAF members only. It is free but limited to 30 participants. Pr-registration is required via the online form below. This event has been rated for 1.5 Cat 1 CEUs.
