Community Hike: The Forest Monitoring Program

In 2019, a group of scientists and community members, in partnership with Transition Fidalgo and the City of Anacortes, came together to form the ACFL Forest Monitoring Program. Initially formed to investigate widespread concern of western redcedar mortality on Fidalgo Island, data collected by this program has contributed key insights about many parts of our forest ecosystem today. Join WSU Research Associate Robbie Andrus as we explore the woods around Heart Lake, and learn how community scientists continue to help us understand the ecosystems of the ACFL!
