WALPOLE, N.H. – Join the Cheshire County Conservation District (CCCD), Long View Forest, New Hampshire Timberland Owners Association, and UNH Extension on Monday, Aug. 3, from 3-5 p.m., on a woodland property to learn about selecting and leaving trees for timber harvests that help maintain healthy forests across our region.
During this workshop, foresters and the landowner will show participants how to decide which trees to leave and which trees to cut during forest management based on the landowner’s stewardship goals and interests. We will be working in a mixed-wood, forty-year-old forest which is growing back after a whole-tree harvest. This is a common forest type in New England, and we hope that what you learn in these woods could be applicable in your own backyard. There will be a demonstration of using a log arch to extract a cut log. A log arch is a great tool for landowners to extract firewood, sawlogs, and more on their own properties, and is available to rent through CCCD.
