Join Wolf Tree co-owner Len Schmidt and Jennie Masterson and Rutland County Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) staff for a look at on-the-ground conservation practices implemented on Wolf Tree Forest. There have been close to a dozen NRCS cost-share practices implemented under both the Environmental Quality Incentive Program (EQIP) and Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP). As time permits, we can see and discuss a combination of past, in-progress, and planned projects including erosion control on logging trails, mast/crop tree releases, a patch cut for early successional regeneration, forest density reduction for wildlife, both mechanical and chemical control of invasive species, and brush piles for wildlife habitat. Arrive any time after 9:00. We will work our way into the woods at 9:30. The walking is mostly on flat, well-maintained trails, but sturdy shoes and tick protection strongly recommended. Rain or shine, we'll be back around 12:00 and the pizza oven will be going for those who wish to stay for a bite to eat after.
