This week is the 19th Session of the United Nations’ (UN) Forum on Forests. In Canada, and around the world, Climate-Smart Forestry (CSF) offers a comprehensive approach to climate change mitigation through forest management that restores resilience in forest ecosystems, enhances carbon sequestration, and builds a strong economy and creates safer communities.

We love designing sites for important missions! 🌲 For example, New England Forestry Foundation. They’re the 4th largest land trust in the US, and we hope the site we built supports their work to sustain forests, habitats, and fighting climate change. When you check it out, definitely take a gander at the custom trail map we created. Shout out to Tinsley Hunsdorfer! We hope you love it as much as we do. #webdevelopment #webdesign #websitedevelopment

Wits Research Team under Sappi Chair is spearheading forestry sustainability to enhance climate resilience, aligning with UN's World Environment Day 2024 theme. With a focus on land restoration, desertification, and drought resilience, their research aims to mitigate climate change impacts on forestry. Just like all crops, trees are significantly affected by climate change, and this initiative will help bolster their resilience.

This useful report was published by The Nature Conservancy (TNC) late last year: "Accelerating Adaptation - The promise and limitations of Nature-based Solutions in the race to adapt to increasing floods and droughts". The report outlines and analyzes nine specific Nature-based Solutions – targeted habitat protection, artificial wetlands, native revegetation, wetland restoration, floodplain and river restoration, riverbank revegetation, agricultural best management practices (including in-field water harvesting), rangeland best management practices, and forestry best management practices. https://lnkd.in/d43TKRNM

Today is the World Environment Day by the United Nations. 🌎 This year's theme is focused on land restoration, halting desertification and building drought resilience. We have a variety of actions going on that are related to the restoration of vegetation and forestry. Here you can see last year's annual report, which lists various projects. https://lnkd.in/eBYYHdp8

This picture shows what unsustainable logging looks like - not what a future forestry industry looks like - we can do better - more responsible practices are required particularly at a time when we need more timber for construction- engineered timber and prefabrication - something Materials & Embodied Carbon Leaders’ Alliance members are discussing and working towards
📣BREAKING: Today, alongside our partners Wilderness Australia, South East Forest Rescue and Forest Defence NSW, we celebrate a temporary victory for greater gliders as Forestry Corp halts logging in compartments under a Stop Work Order from the NSW Environment Protection Authority. 🎉 Thousands of our supporters voiced outrage, leading to this success. 💚 But caution is needed — Forestry Corp has other sections mapped for potential logging in Tallaganda State Forest. Together, we can create a future where native habitats thrive without the threat of logging. 🌿🛑 Be part of the change: https://lnkd.in/gqsuetrX #SaveTallaganda #SaveGreaterGliders #EndNativeLogging #Panda4Tallaganda

These trees in one of our Texas forests aren't just reaching for the sky, they're also capturing carbon and fighting climate change. Learn more about the importance of working forests in sequestering carbon and the climate-smart forestry practices we implement to protect the health of our forests for the future.

Today is #WorldWetlandsDay. Wetlands are areas of land where water covers the soil either permanently or during specific seasons. From marshes to mangroves, they store carbon, protect coastlines, and support diverse wildlife. Sustainable forestry plays a vital role in maintaining these ecosystems. By balancing ecological needs with responsible land use, we can help wetlands thrive.

💧Sustainable Forestry Protects Water Quality💧 Sustainable forest management practices are crucial for preserving water quality. This includes maintaining Streamside Management Zones (SMZs) with buffer strips of vegetation along waterways. These vegetative buffers filter runoff, stabilize banks to prevent erosion, and provide critical habitats for various species, ensuring the health of aquatic ecosystems. #DYK #SMZ #ForestManagement
