Pierce County Chapter

MEETINGS


March 6, 2013:  George Suter, Simpson Lumber, will be our speaker.  George will discuss Simpson’s specifications for the timber they buy. This will help ensure they get what they need, and we get the best price for our timber and avoid culls.  Join us at the Puyallup Library at 7 PM!

March 7th - General Membership meeting at the Puyallup Library:  Our guest speaker will be Paula Kaiser, Forest Manager, Green River Community College, and Co-Chair, South Puget Sound Chapter, Society of American Foresters.  She will lead a discussion of the damage caused by the recent ice storm and offer us some management alternatives.   This is a very timely topic and should foster a good discussion among attendees.  Come prepared to discuss the damage to your tree farm.  Green River has several 1/10th acre research plots at Green River.  Follow this link to view two pictures: the first taken just after the ice storm, and the second, their attempt to salvage the study.

February 1st at the Bonney Lake Library:  Kirk Hanson will be there to tell us about his program.  This should be of keen interest to all of us.
