Carbon is the fourth most abundant element in the universe, it is a common element for all life on earth, it is the second most abundant element in the human body, and it is also the greenhouse gas, but how much do we all know about this essential element? Sustainable Woodstock is excited to be launching a new work-study series about carbon and how we can help manage carbon on our own properties through healthy forestry practices which can protect our forests and create jobs.

Due to the Gov. shutdown last week we needed to reschedule our Carbon Work-study discussion group to Saturday Feb 3rd. For our first Work-Study Group discussion Vikke Vas from Marsh Billings Rockefeller National Historical Park will present and lead a discussion about the history of conservation in Woodstock and how unsustainable deforestation of Vermont led to a legacy of conservation and the longest managed forest in the United States. Everyone is welcome and the workshop is free.

This is part of an 8 month long series focused on managing forests for carbon storage and sequestration. All discussion groups will happen on the 3rd Saturday of every month at the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historic Park's Forest Center from 1:30-3:00PM. We will have suggested reading materials for each presentation to help attendees prepare for the discussion.

RSVP with Zach@sustainablewoodstock.org to receive the suggested reading materials or to learn about the other upcoming discussion topics on carbon in 2018.
