Hi all,

This Monday (7/31) I'll be co-leading a free, public tree identification walk at the Catamount Community Forest, with Vermont Woodlands Association (see details, below). Besides learning to identify some of Vermont's tree species, this will be another opportunity to visit the upcoming forest management project. I hope to see you there!
