Forestry School

The Forestry School series began in the Spring of 2007 with what has been called Forestry School I. It was designed as an introductory session for non, or new, landowners or those who have not been actively involved in the management of their forestlands. We strive to cover a wide range of forestry and wildlife topics and the vast knowledge of the presenters allows for a very flexible, informal exchange.  Typically, the attendees tend to determine the focus of the discussions based upon their interest and experiences.

The Fall offering (Forestry School II) was started in 2008 and was developed to allow for more in-depth discussions of a range of forestry topics. Forestry School I, or ownership experience, is definitely not a pre-requisite.

Past topics have included: terminology, tree identification, timber harvesting, soils, boundary lines, forest pests, wetlands, invasive plants/insects, roads and trails and wildlife habitats.

Watch for announcements of upcoming schools and plan to attend.

Outstanding Tree Farmer Tour

More than 70 people gathered in Derby on October 17th for the 2009 Tree Farmer of the Year tour at Pine Hill Tree Farm, owned by Trevor M. Evans. Participants were treated to incredible views of Vermont and Canada and a beautiful fall day. Trevor is seen here with his wife Stefanee and daughter Angela.
