Do you have spruce-fir stands or mixed softwood and hardwood stands that need thinning? Is it something you think you could do yourself if you knew how?
NorthWoods Stewardship Center and Vermont Woodlands Association will hold a Forest Thinning Workshop at Pfalzerwald Tree Farm in Sheffield, VT on Saturday, August 8th, from 9 am to 3 pm
The workshop will include educational training, demonstrations, and hands-on work in the forest:
- Typically described as pre-commercial thinning
- Thinning Basics-Species, tree size, spacing, reasons, resources, equipment
- Safety basics
Come prepared to work in the woods in the hot summer: tough hiking shoes or boots, light outdoor work clothing, bug dope, gloves, and a water bottle- we provide everything else! This is a field event (rain or shine) so dress accordingly. Mild to moderate hiking on rough trails is required.
There is no charge for this workshop, but registration is requested so we know you’re coming!
