Location: Land’s Sake Farm (woodlot at the back of the farm.)

Presenter: Dave Quinn, Forest and Trails Manager

Many people assume the most environmentally friendly method of protecting a forested area is to simply leave it alone.  However, not all human intervention in the environment is harmful.   In fact, landowners can effectively manage their woodlots to promote healthy ecosystems while at the same time providing income-generating products such as firewood and lumber.  In this program, we will provide an overview of basic, small woodlot management practices.  You will learn how to assess the current condition of your woodlot and how to develop a management plan based on your desired outcome.  There will also be a tree felling demonstration and an opportunity for you to participate in some hands-on activities, such as splitting and stacking firewood and removing small trees from overgrown areas.
