Join the Shrewsbury Conservation Commission on a walk through the Stout/Rice property This Sunday, July 12th from 9:00 to 11:00 am at the end of Coldham Road outside of the Stout House. This walk will explore the impacts of applied forest management strategies used over the last 40 years. This 400 acre property was home to a working farm through the late 1950's and since 1980 has been managed under the State's Use Value Appraisal program with extensive direction from VLT. This walk will include observations of patch cuts in different stages of growth, a 30 acre maple stand that has been tapped at least over 80 years, riparian zones and other features. Tim Stout may be joined by his uncle David Rice and consulting forester Mike White.

Please bring along face masks. In order to ensure that the group is not too large for safe social distancing, please let Peter Grace know if you plan on attending. 492-3529
