From the Tailgate: Active Harvesting
Thursday, January 31
1:00pm – 3:00pm
Lower Otter WMA, Sand Road, Ferrisburg, VT
Visit Lower Otter WMA to view an active timber harvest. Walk with Biologist Dave Sausville and Forester Matt Leonard as they showcase the different forest and habitat management techniques used to manage this property for wildlife. We will visit harvested areas and discuss the strategies used to achieve specific objectives and goals on the parcel. These same forest management practices can be used to enhance habitat on private land. We should be able to see some of the logging equipment in action. Join us as we take a second look at this site during our series From the Tailgate and bring your questions about forest and wildlife habitat management. Registration is not required but appreciated. If you have a hard hat please bring it. We will have some on hand. For more information or directions please contact Lisa Sausville at 802-877-2777 or info@vtcoverts.org This workshop cosponsored by VT Coverts, VT Fish and Wildlife and VT Forest Parks and Recreation is free and open to the public. We will walk the area again in March and July to see the final results and the response of the habitat.
