Upcoming Events

Join the Land's Sake Forestry crew for a morning of wood splitting in the Highland St. Forest. It's a great way to learn about our sustainable forestry practices, see a tree felling demonstartion, enjoy some hot cocoa, and get a great workout. Wear boots, dress warmly and bring water.

Please park near the trailhead off of Wildflower Lane in Weston (click here for a map of the area). Just look for the Land's Sake truck. We will hike into the woods to the logging site from there. If you arrive late, you can use this Trail Map to find us. We will be splitting near marker number 7.

Come celebrate the Maple Sugaring season at our Sugaring Off Festival featuring a pancake breakfast, coffee, hot cider, maple sugar treats, bake sale, live music, tours of our Sugar House in full operation and of course, our own maple syrup.
