This lecture will discuss the transformation of forest management practices in Northern California. Since Humbolt Redwood Company’s founding, out of a reorganization of the former Pacific Lumber Company in July 2008, Mike Jani has implemented ecosystem based management practices in their holdings of approximately 327 square miles (209,300 acres) of coast redwood and Douglas-fir forestland.

This approach quelled years of protests over old-growth logging and opened a new dialogue with the community. Jani will discuss the transition and Humbolt Redwood Company’s intent to maintain forestlands for long‐term ecological, social, and economic vitality.

Please see the cover story in this month’s National Geographic magazine.
