Denman
Program Success Despite
|
The February 28th Denman Forestry Issues Series took place despite the 6.8 earthquake that occurred within hours of the scheduled program. It was touch and go for a while as the remote locations in Forks, Eatonville, Colville and Longview regained their phones and electricity. The UW TV crew had to reset all of the lights in the studio and get the rest of the technology back on line in time for the 1PM broadcast. It was no surprise when each location suffered a loss in expected attendees. However the taping of the event went off without a hitch and the teleconferencing to the remote locations was uninterrupted for the four hours of the transmission. There was no charge for attending this event however pre-registration was required in order to ensure adequate seating and supply of refreshments. |

Overview
|
The Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is in the process of updating the sustainable harvest for the state forestlands. The DNR, like all landowners, must make a series of economic, technical, ecological and policy assumptions when calculating the harvest level. In addition, various legal, managerial and political constraints must be examined within a multiple goal decision framework. College of Forest Resources faculty discussed the effects of these various parameters and assumptions on the sustainable harvest level. Joining the faculty was Dr. John Beuter, of Duck Creek Associates, Inc. John is an expert on the calculation of sustainable harvests and a courtesy professor of forest management at Oregon State University. |

Teleconferencing to Rural Areas of Washington
|
The audiences at the remote locations viewed the speakers in Seattle in real time on a large teleconferencing monitor. They were able to pose questions to speakers in Seattle through an on-site moderator.
