SUMMARY:The Future of Oak Forests
DESCRIPTION:Oaks are in decline throughout the Northeast because many 
 of our forestlands lack the young oaks needed for successful regenerat
 ion. When mature oaks are lost through harvest, age, or disturbance, t
 hey are often replaced by other tree species.\nDiscover how absence of
  fire, proliferation of deer, shade-tolerant maples, logging practices
 , and climate change threaten oak regeneration. Explore the importance
  of oaks to wildlife and how land use practices set the stage for oak 
 declines.\nThrough an interactive panel, gain firsthand knowledge abou
 t how private forest owners and land managers can make a difference. F
 orum is free, but RSVP is required: http://www.caryinstitute.org/even
 ts/future-oak-forests\n*Attending this forum may qualify towards three
  hours of New York State required municipal training credits.\nCo-spon
