The New Family in front of the tree farm sign.

Upon learning that their family was to receive the 2019 National Tree Farmers of the Year award from the American Forest Foundation / National Tree Farm Program, Dave New began preparing a series of slides and videos to tell the Nourse Tree Farm story. This presentation can be described as being short on technical details and long on pictures and story telling. Topics touched on include the history of the farm, the four ATFS precepts of Wood, Wildlife, Water, and Recreation, as well as succession planning, and salmon stream restoration with the assistance of the Snohomish Conservation District. Videos include 3 produced by the Washington Tree Farm Committee, and one by the American Forest Foundation.  With the advent of social distancing and shelter at home it is now being presented as a webinar.

If you don't like pictures of people working and enjoying themselves, trees, birds, furry animals, and salmon swimming upstream, then you will want to find something else to do. - Dave New
