Our Gem Speaker Series: Water Smart Programming
North Kootenai Water District Automatic Metering Infrastructure Project
The North Kootenai Water District (NKWD) is a non-profit organization providing drinking water to over 11,300 people across 200 square miles through 15 public water systems. The district primarily sources its water from 26 wells tapping the Spokane Valley Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer, with a small portion drawn from Hayden Lake and Lake Coeur d’Alene. To improve water supply reliability and promote conservation, NKWD is replacing its manual and radio-read meters with advanced metering infrastructure (AMI). The new AMI meters feature cellular endpoints for real-time data transmission and include leak detection technology. Following a successful pilot project, which showed a 12% reduction in water usage, the district projects annual savings of 392.8 acre-feet, or 128 million gallons of water.

Thinning & Pruning Field Day
Extension
Trees killed by bark beetle attacks always make forest owners ask: “What can we do about it?” Whether you have problems with insects or disease, concerns about fire or just want to help forest growth, the response from foresters is nearly universal: thin the stand. This is especially true in northern Idaho, where forest stands frequently become overstocked. Thinning and pruning can favor better adapted tree species, improve forest genetics, invigorate tree growth, reduce insect and disease problems, reduce fire risk, improve access and enhance many other values. In June, local forest owners can learn how to implement these practices more effectively in a “Thinning & Pruning Field Day.” The program will feature:
• Presentations on fundamental concepts of thinning and pruning, as well as financial and technical assistance to help forest owners improve their stands.
• A field trip featuring: a thinned stand; a pruned stand; and demonstrations of manual and mechanical thinning and pruning tools, chainsaw safety,…

Measuring Your Trees
Extension
Good decisions require good information on a forest; whether determining how much to thin or what species, preparing for a timber sale or managing for other values. Some forest owners like to make these decisions intuitively. But careful measurements can often illuminate misconceptions about a forest developed from casual observations.
University of Idaho Extension program titled “Measuring Your Trees” is designed to give forest owners a basic understanding of forest measurements. It also will help them collect some of their own data and strengthen their interactions with professional foresters and technicians regarding data-based forest management decisions.
The morning will be spent indoors, focusing on principles guiding measurement of trees and forests. The afternoon will be spent outdoors, measuring a variety of forest characteristics using clinometers, diameter tapes, angle gauges and other forest measurement tools.
“Measuring Your Trees” will be held in Sandpoint, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday,…
