Woodland Owner Cooperator Training

Do you love your woodlands? Enjoy seeing birds and other wildlife and want to learn how a healthy forest can enhance wildlife habitat, provide recreational and timber benefits? Are you interested in reaching out to others in your community? If you answered yes, then join us for the Coverts 3-day Woodland Owner Training. It will allow you to connect with resource professionals and other landowners just like you while learning how you can improve your woodland. The fall dates are September 7-9 and will be held at Kehoe Conservation Camp in Hydeville, VT. Space is limited so register now! To learn more, see a sample agenda or download an application visit our website at www.vtcoverts.org. You can also contact us by calling Lisa Sausville at 802-877-2777 or email lisa@vtcoverts.org. The program is free but requires a $100 deposit that is refundable upon request at the end of the weekend. Please note although open to others the program targets information to those landowners with 25 or more acres.

If you have questions for one who has attended, please feel free to contact me. I only have just under 3 acres, but learned so much!! As Lisa says, it's sipping from the fire hose. Great program. Most of the land in Vermont is privately owned, so we as landowners have responsibility to protect our most precious resource, and doing it together is more fun.
