• Managing oak forests
• Insect herbivory impacting oaks
• Enhancing habitat connectivity . . . and more

Why attend? Oregon White Oak (Quercus garryana) plays a vital role in our ecosystems — supporting wildlife, stabilizing soils, and maintaining native biodiversity. This forum is a great chance to learn about current management strategies, ask questions, and connect with others passionate about conserving these beautiful trees.
