Forest Biomass, Oregon and Beyond

October 19, 2023 @ 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm

Sierra Club Webinar: Forest Biomass, Oregon and Beyond

As we work for a just transition from fossil fuels to cleaner, renewable energy, what are the realities and tradeoffs we need to understand? Burning forest thinnings or plantation trees for large-scale energy production has big impacts on ecosystems, climate, and communities. What are the ecological and climate costs of ramping up and subsidizing biomass utilization for energy, biofuels, and other applications in Oregon? How do policies on the West Coast tie into the bigger picture of U.S. and global policies, and how can we advocate for climate solutions that protect, rather than harm, our forests? Join us to explore these issues that affect our ecological and climate future.

ABOUT THE PRESENTERS: Dr. Dominick A. DellaSala is Chief Scientist at Wild Heritage and former President of the Society for Conservation Biology, North America Section. He is an internationally renowned author of over 300 science papers and books on forests, climate change, and endangered species.
