Preface
The
following video presentations are from the 4th International
Red Alder Symposium. Previous symposiums were held in
1967, 1977, and 1992. Over the years alder has undergone
a transformation from being considered a weed species
to being recognized as a premium commercial species and
an important ecological component of Pacific Northwest
forests. The recorded presentations from this symposium
bring together regional experts for a critical examination
of the economic, ecological, and social values of red
alder. |

Western
Alder: It's worth more than you may think - Grant
W. Sharpe, Professor Emeritus, UW CFR and Laurence
B. Istvan, Ph.D., UW CFR
This
presentation was initially produced by Grant Sharpe
and Laury Istvan in 1985 for the Western
Hardwood Association. It was a slide show with narration
that was intended to raise awareness toward the
value of western alder. The original slides from
the slide show were scanned and converted to a
digital format, and then put into a PowerPoint® presentation.
This new form of the 1985 presentation was then
recorded to video with an introduction by Grant
Sharpe and narration by Laury Istvan. There were
several showings of it during the 2005 International
Alder Symposium, and it is currently streaming
worldwide over the internet from the Rural Technology
Initiative website (www.ruraltech.org).
