Chittenden County Forester, Ethan Tapper will lead "Understanding Timber Harvesting," a walk of an active timber harvest at the Hinesburg Town Forest (HTF). The HTF is managed for wildlife, recreation, clean water, clean air, carbon sequestration and as a site for the demonstration of modern, responsible forest management. We will walk the timber harvest area and talk about forests, forest management, and forest ecology. Please bring an open mind, warm clothes, and all those questions you've never had a chance to ask about logging and forest management.

To attend this free walk, meet at 1:00 PM on Saturday, January 11 at the plow turnaround at the end of Economou Road, Huntington. This walk will happen "rain (snow, mud) or shine." Participants should be ready to spend a couple hours outdoors walking over uneven and potentially slippery surfaces in whatever weather we find ourselves in, and also to spend extended periods of time standing and talking.
