CONSERVING & HARVESTING ENERGY IN OUR FIVE-TOWN FOREST: Can We Use Substantially More Wood For Energy While Also Being Ecologically-Sustainable, Energy-Efficient, Local & Fair?

Date: July 11, 2009
Time: 8:30 am - 12 noon
Location: Lincoln Library

Vermont Family Forests -- in partnership with the UVM Center for Sustainable Agriculture and the Northern Forest Alliance -- is hosting a wood energy workshop/seminar with a focus on firewood use and production in what we are calling The Five Town Forest. There will be brief presentations on firewood harvest and supply and then a tour of an active family forest firewood harvest. There will be discussions as to how to increase the ecological sustainability, energy efficiency, local-sourcing, and fairness of firewood production and use. The workshop/seminar is free and open to all interested.
