CONSERVING WATER QUALITY WHILE HARVESTING MORE FOREST BIOMASS
Like it or not we are heading back to the forest for energy. It is not a matter of 'if' but 'how?" This workshop will focus on this key question: "Can we conserve water quality while harvesting more forest biomass?" Join us as we look at the design of: 1. Roads, Trails, and Log Landings; 2 Stream Crossings; 3. RiparIan and Buffer Zones; and 4. Forest Biomass Harvesting 0perations. RAIN or SHINE. Please bring children, two legged friends, water, and a notebook if you like. Sponsored by Vremont Family Forests in cooperation with The Watershed Center, Bristol Town Conservation Commission, & Middlebury College's Healthy Watersheds~Home Woodsheds Project. For more information call 802 453-7728. GAME OF LOGGING TRAINING PROGRAMThe Game of Logging training program combines Scandinavian logging techniques with the latest systems for working safely around trees. We cannot overstate the value of these courses. We have participants who’ve used chainsaws for 30 years prior to taking GOL Level I say that the course changed the way they work in the woods.
