The workshop is being led by David Brynn, Conservation Forester with Vermont Family Forests and Kristen Underwood, Hydro-geologist with South Mountain Research & Consulting. It will happen rain or shine so participants should dress for the weather and bring bug dope and water. No pets please!
The Workshop will be held at The Waterworks Property of The Watershed Center. From the traffic light in Bristol, follow North St. for approximately ¾ mile until you reach Plank Road (on your left). Turn onto Plank Road and check odometer. You’ll remain on Plank Road through 2 intersections (Burpee Road at 0.8 miles and Sawyer Road at 1.7 miles). Plank Road will sweep to the right then make a sharp turn to the left over Norton Brook. The parking area for the Waterworks property is on the right just before that sharp turn. Total driving distance along Plank Road is 3.3 miles.
The workshop is free and open to the public. No pre-registration required. For more information please contact David Brynn by phone at (802) 453-7728 or by e-mail at david@familyforests.org.
