Sonoma County Forest Conservation Working Group (SCFCWG)

The Sonoma County Forest Conservation Working Group is a team with forestry and conservation expertise working together to provide education and resources to forest landowners with the goal of protecting and sustaining healthy forests, woodlands, and watersheds in Sonoma County. Members represent forest landowners, local and regional land trusts, watershed councils, and state and local agencies.

SCFCWG hosts "Brown Bag" lectures periodically, covering a range of forest issues. This lecture series helps promote communication between the county’s urban center and its forested periphery. Past topics have included the carbon cycle, carbon sequestration, and monetizing carbon credits; oak ecology and history in Sonoma County; Sonoma County fire history and ecology; climate change and its potential impacts to the county; biomass utilization; and Forest Practice regulations.

Here are videos from their January lecture:
