National Silviculture Workshop

The Forest Service sponsors the National Silviculture Workshop, a biennial event, to review and discuss state-of-the-art silvicultural research and forestry management papers that demonstrate integrated restoration to yield multiple resource benefits. These papers highlight national perspectives on ecosystem services, forest restoration and climate change, and regional perspectives on forest restoration and silvicultural practices to achieve multiple resource benefits from researchers and forest practitioners working in a broad array of forest types in the United States.

Conference and Workshop Proceedings

  The workshop took place in Boise, Idaho, from June 15 to 18, 2009. The theme was “Integrated Management of Carbon Sequestration and Biomass Utilization Opportunities in a Changing Climate.”
• Integrated Restoration of Forested Ecosystems to Achieve Multiresource Benefits: Proceedings of the 2007 National Silviculture Workshop
  The National Silviculture Workshop, a biennial event co-sponsored by the Forest Service, was held May 7-10, 2007, in Ketchikan, Alaska, with the theme of "Integrated Restoration of Forested Ecosystems to Achieve Multiresource Benefits."
• 2005 National Silviculture Workshop Proceedings and Presentations
  The 2005 National Silviculture Workshop took place June 6-10, 2005, near Tahoe City California. The workshop is a long-standing, bi-annual workshop within the Forest Service co-sponsored by the National Forest System Branch and the Research and Development Branch.
• Silviculture in Special Places: Proceedings of the 2003 National Silviculture Workshop
  A Rocky Mountain Research Station online publication. "This proceedings presents a compilation of 20 manuscripts and five posters summarizing results of research studies and management projects conducted throughout the United States in areas with special natural resource values. Topics include the restoration of various fire dependent forest ecosystems, studies of historical ecology, use of genetics in silviculture, development of old growth and late-successional prescriptions, documenting natural regeneration in burned areas, comparisons of cutting methods, coping with advancing blister rust, delineation of rare aspen forests, two-aged management in Appalachian hardwoods, forest soil productivity, managing a recreation river, and forest structure/burn severity relationships."
