On this episode, we sit down with WSU Extension Forester, Sean Alexander for the North Eastern area of Washington. Sean talks with us about the extension office and some of the programs they have to offer including the Washington Forest Owners winter School that will take place on February 27th and the highly notable Coached Planning Forest stewardship course that will kick off in March.

There used to be one way to do good conservation: Save a species and protect some land and water… but as we are in the midst of a pandemic, a climate crisis, and we are seeing an increase in chronic disease, conservation has, not surprisingly, shifted and it has never been more important to bring back economic success and life to our lands and our farms. So, what is conservation really? Why has this been such a hard subject to speak on? The Spokane Conservation District out of Spokane, Washington will speak directly to growers, managers, and consumers in the Pacific Northwest region to get to the root of why we need to connect economic incentives of consumers – to growers – to drive full system regeneration.
