Restoring Old Growth Characteristics at the Catamount Community Forest: Part Two

Saturday, October 21
1:00pm - 3:00pm
Catamount Community Forest, Williston

Join County Forester Ethan Tapper to visit a recently completed forest management project at the Catamount Community Forest. The Catamount Community Forest was conserved by Coverts Cooperators Jim and Lucy McCullough through the Vermont Land Trust. This project involves managing a relatively young forest for old growth characteristics—creating the habitats and the qualities of an old growth forest centuries sooner than they would naturally occur. We'll explore effective ways to manage our forests for resilience and adaptability while also achieving other goals, including biodiversity conservation, forest health, renewable resources, and bird habitat.

This is the second event in a two-part series. If you came to the first one, you'll enjoy seeing the post-harvest changes. If you didn't make it, please join us in October to learn about the project! Co-sponsored by the Vermont Land Trust and Vermont Coverts.
