On this walk, we will explore why our Vermont forests are so critical for mitigating climate change. The focus will be to observe what we as landowners can do to enhance Carbon Sequestration and Storage (CSS) to enable our forests to become ever-growing carbon sinks. Now's an exciting time to observe CSS in action because Vermont is introducing options for landowners to actively apply it to their land. Jockey Hill Farm in Shrewsbury is currently under assessment for participation in two of these programs, and other landowners might want to consider CSS for their land. Tim Stout, landowner and Principal at Northam Forest Carbon, will be joined by Sarah Ford, Regional Forester for Forest Carbon Works, and Tim's consulting forester, Mike White at Calfee Woodland Management. An updated detailed map of the property makes it easier for visitors to explore the land at their pleasure. We will orient ourselves off this map as we talk about CSS and other new land management practices that are being applied to the farm.
