Jefferson Field Tour

Advanced Hardwood Biofuels Northwest invites you to join AHB researchers for a day in the field at the Jefferson Demonstration Site! Come see hybrid poplar’s full re-growth potential after the site’s initial harvest last fall. As a purpose-grown crop for bioenergy, poplars have great potential as a sustainable feedstock for biofuel and bioproduct production in the Pacific Northwest. Lunch provided!

Join extension professionals, policy makers, researchers, environmental professionals, and local landowners in learning about the latest biofuel and bioproduct developments in the Pacific Northwest: Topics include:

• Growing hybrid poplar as a short rotation woody energy crop
• Sustainable production and environmental impacts on soil, water, and wildlife
• Best areas to develop biofuel and bioproduct industries
• Biomass production tour highlighting operational and research poplar plots
