Previously, Mrs. Goldsworthy served as Green Diamond’s silviculture investments manager, providing leadership for programs such as reforestation, vegetation management, and nursery production, and she has worked in technical forestry roles such as forest ecology consulting and applied research.

She is a resident of Arcata where she lives with her husband, their two children, and their very sassy dog.  

Green Diamond has major timber holdings in Humboldt County and provides significant economic value to the community. At the same time, it faces increasing challenges to address concerns about fires, endangered species, clearcutting vs. selective harvesting, forest thinning, and growing/maintaining healthy forests and forest diversity. Learn how these are being addressed.

The presentation will begin promptly at noon.
