This webinar—hosted by the Physiology Community of Interest—highlights new research which characterizes temperature- and drought-related traits across the native U.S. range of Pseudotsuga menziesii (PSME) to evaluate population suitability for assisted migration.
Webinar information
Assisted migration of Coastal Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii, PSME) is increasingly used to introduce populations adapted to future heat and drought conditions into historically cooler regions. However, successful seed transfer must also account for current environmental constraints, particularly low temperature extremes that affect trees during the vulnerable establishment phase. In addition, drought is projected to intensify across the western United States, interacting with temperature stress, making it critical to evaluate tolerance to multiple stressors when selecting seed sources.
This webinar highlights new research which characterizes temperature and drought related traits across the native U.S. range of PSME to evaluate population suitability for assisted migration. Physiological, phenological, and morphological traits were measured in 23 populations (18 wild-collected and 5 orchard sources) in nursery trials and common garden field trials in Washington. Cold hardiness was quantified using controlled freeze tests and electrolyte leakage, budburst phenology was monitored weekly, and high-temperature thermotolerance was assessed to determine population-specific phenology and critical temperatures. Multivariate analyses linking these traits with provenance climate variables are used to identify climatic drivers of stress tolerance and potential trade-offs among traits.

This webinar—hosted by the Economics, Policy, and Law Community of Interest—introduces a decision support tool that helps users compare timber and wildlife management trade-offs in loblolly pine stands through clear biological and financial outputs.
Webinar information
This webinar will introduce a decision support tool developed to help landowners, extension professionals, foresters, and natural resource practitioners evaluate trade-offs across timber production, wildlife habitat, and integrated management in loblolly pine stands. The tool allows users to compare management scenarios for timber, deer, turkey, quail, and integrated timber-wildlife objectives by adjusting stand conditions, silvicultural treatments, and economic assumptions. Participants will learn how to use the tool, interpret, and summarize key outputs such as optimal harvest age, land expectation value, stand yield, and financial returns in a clear and practical format.

This webinar panel presents the social dimensions of fire and allows for students to ask sociology-minded fire experts their burning questions. It is hosted by the SAF Student Executive Committee (SEC) and is intended for student members of SAF.
Webinar information
As human settlement increases in the wildland-urban interface, increased study of communities in these areas to address their level of wildfire adaptivity, and how it can be improved locally, is needed. Managers can tend to ignore the local social context and complexity of communities, forcing ineffective solutions. How can we create effective solutions to adapt communities to live with fire?’ Bring your burning questions to our expert panelists!
This webinar was live on Thursday, February 26, 2026 from 5:15 - 6:45 pm ET.
A recording is available through February 26, 2027.

This webinar guides consulting foresters on how to replace "back of the envelope" estimates with precise job costing, ensuring you stop underpricing services and maximize project margins.
Webinar information
Most consulting foresters look at their bank balance to see if they’re "doing okay." That’s a trap. If you aren’t tracking your burdened labor and direct expenses, your profitable timber sales are likely hiding the "loser" projects that are eating your margins.
In this session, we strip away the "back-of-the-envelope" math and replace it with a clinical look at your project performance. We’ll share how to stop "scope creep" from turning your expert advice into minimum-wage labor, and how to build a "Floor" for your pricing that ensures you never write a check to work for a client again.
What you will learn:
- The Floor vs. The Ceiling: Why following the neighbor's pricing is a death sentence for a growing firm.
- Menu Optimization: Identifying which services are "cash cows" and which are "subsidized hobbies".
- The Guardrail Strategy: Using data, not "niceness," to defeat scope creep and bill what you’re worth.
