Understanding forest ecosystems and how they respond to logging impacts is essential knowledge for a timber harvester. Having the right knowledge to adapt your practices can make the difference between a successful job and one filled with setbacks.
Vermont LEAP will hold a Managing Forest Ecosystems – Watersheds and AMP workshop on October 22nd from 8 am to 3 pm beginning at the UVM Extension office In Barre, VT.
In this workshop, loggers will learn about the main elements of forest ecosystems, including water and wildlife, how productivity is affected by various harvesting practices, and how to conserve soil while building access roads that can withstand heavy equipment and the elements.
The field portion of this workshop will explore harvest closeout practices and forest road construction on Weyerhaeuser property with agency staff and logging professionals.
Held rain or shine; food provided.
Cost of this workshop is $60 per person.
