Carbon Management in Forests:
Principles, Policies and Practices

The management of forests to store carbon is becoming more and more important, but many questions remain. Are there principles to guide this management? Are there polices that will be fruitful? Which polices may prove counterproductive? How is carbon
measured and accounted for? How does carbon management influence other important resources? What is the impact of common management practices on carbon store in forests?

A two and half day workshop will be devoted to these and other topics at the H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest September 29-October 2 of 2008. Participants will attend lectures and pose questions to experts knowledgeable in this field, participate in group discussions, as well as gain hands on experience in field
measurements and analyses of example projects. Each participant will be provided key articles, copies of presentations, and spreadsheets for calculations.

Outcomes: By the end of the workshop the participants should understand the general policy context as well as the biological and economic principles for managing forests for carbon sequestration. Participants would also gain practical experience in making the
field measurements and performing the analysis steps required to evaluate carbon sequestration projects.
