The annual rite of March will be held from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Ag. Trade Center on the grounds of the Northeast Washington Fairgrounds in Colville. Underwriting and co-sponsoring the workshop are Washington State University Extension and the Department of Natural Resources.

Attendees will have a chance to participate in an on the ground tour of forest insect and disease infestations. After a 7:30 a.m. introduction by Emily Burt of Washington State University Extension, JD Fernstrom of Stihl Northwest will present the first session titled New Era Chainsaw Engines. That will be followed up at approximately 8:20 a.m. by a video from University of Idaho Extension Forestry on selective logging and a practical guide to partial timber harvest. Following a 9 a.m. break, Tandy Alexander of the Washington Department of Licensing will talk about better understanding the new CFL training requirements. There will also be a presentation on funding a CDL education. At 10 a.m. there will be a Washington DNR regulations update. Other presentations will be on Forest Insects and Disease Identification and the field tour in the afternoon. For more information, contact Burt at (509) 775-5235 or email to
