How can we manage private woodlands for some of the desired characteristics of old forests?

Vermont Land Trust will hold a Managing for Old Forest Characteristics Workshop for Landowners on Tuesday, August 23rd from 9 am to noon at the Marsh-Billings National Historic Park in Woodstock, Vermont.

At this workshop, participants will learn how to recognize an old forest, what the desired characteristics are, and how to choose the best approach for achieving those characteristics. The program will discuss everything from broad regional conservation goals to on-the-ground details like how to increase down and standing dead wood in a forest.
