Join Carson Sprenger for the next Meeting of the Minds presentation titled, “Forest Health and Resiliency in San Juan County: A Restoration Forester’s Perspective.” Sprenger discusses how a 400-year-old tree-ring record helps explain the history of local forest fires, the influence of Coast Salish people, and the development of our current forests

Prior to becoming the Director of Rain Shadow Consulting, an ecological forestry and tree care business based on Orcas Island, Carson graduated from the University of Washington’s College of Forest Resources. Carson is also adjunct faculty at Huxley College and a board supervisor on the San Juan Conservation District.
