Our May Fireside Chat will focus on Relative Density. At NNRG, we often talk about the importance of managing forest density—but how should we approach it?

Join NNRG’s Director of Forestry, Kirk Hanson, on Wednesday, May 21. We’ll take a deep dive into relative density, which measures how crowded a stand is and provides valuable insight into competition, forest health, and when thinning may be needed.

Bring your favorite cozy beverage, settle in by the fire, and learn how understanding relative density can help you make more informed decisions about managing your forest.

We look forward to chatting with you on Wednesday the 21st!

We hope you’ll join us for the monthly Forestry Happy Hour—now happening on the fourth Tuesday of each month from 4:30 – 6:00 PM!

The next Forestry Happy Hour will take place on May 27th. Meet us at Locust Cider Post Alley (on the steps near SAM) for a casual, no-host gathering of local forestry professionals—an opportunity to connect, share insights, and unwind with your peers in the forestry space.

Please extend the invite to colleagues who may be interested—all are welcome!
